Go to any blog about "good" modern architecture. As it turns out "good" architecture these days is roof-less bauhaus with windows that take the entire front wall, including the bedroom. Looks good on Tumblr, impossible to live in, expensive to build, and insane heating bll. No, thanks.

This sort of thing was popular in the 2000s but thankfully I haven't noticed any new builds like this for a while
I'm sitting here in Seattle where these buildings just, thankfully, recently started to become popular.

I despise traditional architecture. Give me something so modern that it makes the neighbors puke.

Those homes are beautiful, but Seattle might be a bit tough with the flat roofs. I grew up in a house like that in a rainy area and we had standing water issues on the roof.

It was a beautiful design that was completely inappropriate for the region.
