Offbeat Homes

Ten Contest Bonus Points: Guess My Favorite Offbeat Structure

by Jennifer Chait on December 6th, 2007

So, all the regulars just spit coffee out their nose because frankly what house isn’t my favorite? I think my most used Offbeat phrases include:

  • “My favorite house today”
  • “My favorite building ever”
  • “I’m so in love with this house”
  • “My future home”
  • “This structure has to be the most amazing I’ve ever seen!”

The sad part is I’m never kidding. I do fall in love so many structures — I could never really narrow it down below twenty favorites. Even when there’s a structure I don’t like I tend to at least like one thing about it.

Therefore if you want ten bonus points for the Offbeat December Contest it’s going to be easier to guess my least favorite home. Below I’m going to post four structures. This one will be easy for long-time Offbeat readers; really it should even be easy for newer offbeat readers. I’m so giving this away. To learn more about a structure (i.e. get a clue) click on the photo.

1. Lundberg Design House

2. This home looks dull but inside… an offbeat wonder awaits.

3. The Camouflage House

4. The Height Residence

Alright, three of these Offbeat structures I’m in a current state of ongoing bliss about and there is one here that’s cool but I could more or less live without it.

Is my least favorite home 1, 2, 3, or 4? Leave a comment with your guess. I’ll check the comments in a few days and give my answer so you have until then to guess. If you’re right I’ll hand you ten bonus points. If you’re wrong we’ll have an easier bonus point post next week so no worries.

    Number two, the only one without a view, LOL. Actually I saw the inside view, interesting.

    I’m guessing two. I know you’re into all that hippy earthy stuff, but even you couldn’t possibly dig all that paneling.

    Hey did you see the recycled stuff house at Simply Thrifty?

    I think your fave is the camoflage house. Your leas fave is probably either the first or last choices. If I had to say one way or the other, I’d say the last one was least liked.

    Oh , I have to vote for Number 2 as being your least favorite house! LOL!
    I would have to say that the ‘WTF’ usually denotes a whack on the forehead, not a sense of bliss and lust! ROTFLOL!

    Ok, everyone who noted that #2 was my least fave gets a nice easy 10 points. I actually find the wood paneling appealing; as in quirky offbeat appealing but it’s no where close to what I’d be looking for in a dream house.

    1 & 3 are two of my favorite homes ever –top fifty at least and #4 is by one of my favorite architects. I adore his house here just a bit less than 1 & 3.

    Good job all.

    Anyone coming after this — sorry but you missed the “few days” cut off to place a guess :(
