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.
