This is a real estate website which specializes in selling houses of contemperary architectural design.
The house listed is essentially a mid century modern which has been built recently in Canada. I thought the sales person’s attempt at description of a modernist era house design in post modernist terms was so precious that I had to share it:
“The Modern period is now 80 years old and has become a tradition. This house reminds us that Modernity is a philosophy, not a style: It is the style of no-style, the believe in democratic values, modesty, directness, abstinence from fluff and symbols. It says that Art is about creation, not acquisition. It argues the value of rigorous unity of structure and finish, of form and content. It pleads economy, sustainability, soundness, and function. In its light and sketchy elegance and mature use of technology and resources this house makes an important and timely statement.”
