Modern Rowhouses?

[Trantor]

Hi there. Sometime ago I posted a thread about row houses for rich people and it generated an interesting discussion. People posted lots of pics, and there were photos of some fantastic modern/futuristic rowhouses.

Unfortunatelly, I cant find the thread anymore, and also, I am having bad luck making a search for such cool rowhouses at google.


Thus, I wonder if you guys know any examples of such rowhouses?

How about these in Philadelphia? These blow the socks of any suburban mcmansion (of course they cost 3-4 times as much)!



These are just a few blocks north of the CBD in center city and feature:

5,000 sq. ft!
4 floors!
4 bedrooms!
4 bathrooms!
an elevator!

and...........a massive (can anyone say excessive?) 4 car garage!

asking price? $2.3 million (i believe there is only 1 remaining).

because of LOCATION only, I suppose. A "McMansion" at downtown Philadelphia would be prohibitive in price.



5,000 sq. ft! (hmmm... how much is that in sq meters?)
4 floors!
4 bedrooms! (my house too!)
4 bathrooms! (my house too!)
an elevator!

Now, these are some nice rowhouses, but in the thread I spoke before, people some posted some even nicer, more modern looking ones.

Here are a couple examples from Denver:

The last one from denver-cityscape.com:


I like most of these buildings right now; I just hope they age as well as their traditional counterparts. Denver has definitely gained quite a stock in modern/contemporary rowhouses, and they are still being built at a frantic pace.

yes, it is. How the hell did you find the thread?? What am I doing wrong in the SEARCH? I did a search for ROWHOUSES only and the thread was not there. Doing a search for ROWHOUSES in threads where I participated didnt even return ANY result!!


any chance these ones were built by the same company/architect?

I really like the stuff that Onion Flats is doing in Fishtown and Northern Liberties. And their stuff is LEED certified.

There is a little one block wide by 1 mile long strip of a neighborhood in Tulsa where a lot of these are going in, replacing a bunch of old bungalos. The area is called "Cherry Street".

Not as nice as what you all have in the big cities, but hey, its a start lol. There are some new ones coming online that look to be a bit nicer and more interesting.













Not a Rowhouse but in the same area. I really like the rusted steel sides and raw wood.


Nearby is this "Modern Bungalo?"

These are under construction in St. Louis:

Here are some newly built rowhomes in my hometown Ystad, Sweden.

The Cherry Street developments looks a little cramped. The houses on the left side of the picture either look into the living rooms across the street or a big wall. Maybe I'm missing something there.

Yeah they do good stuff, definitely refreshing in the sea of red bricks known as Philly.

Yuck, most of these new rowhouses are atrocious imo.

This thread just made me throw up in my mouth a little.

I can totally respect these rowhouses. More 'modern' ones are just ugly for me

Here's some examples of what baltimore builds recently

I think sharp contrasts of modern rowhouses to the older city looks horrible. I like the blending of similar architecture
