The craftsmanship is impressive... The material abhorrent.

It makes no sense lol somone this good with wood, putting effort into making it out of crap.

It's taking a post modern architecture concept and applying it to just what the home owner can reasonably change.

The idea is that the building shouldn't hide or obscure what the materials it is made from. You'll see it in buildings with deliberate exposed pipes, exposed concrete, unfinished wood.

It's about honesty and function.

The problem is to make this work they needed to go further or not so far. A polished concrete countertop, industrial tiles and industrial appliances could make this work better. Or using plywood rather than OBS.

It doesn't even make any sense because MDF isn't really much more expensive than strand board and is a very common cabinet material.

I'm guessing this is some kind of veneer. OSB doesn't even cut clean enough to be used as a cabinet

Cheap client not willing to pay for proper materials and a good carpenter who didn't care enough to argue with them about it would be my guess.

The cost of man hours for these "custom" cabinets is probably 3 or 4 times the cost of high end cabinets.

This was a look. Around the corner there'll be raw concrete with the form marks in it.

that’s called “Brutalist” thank you very much!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This is brutalism same the way polka dotted wallpaper is pointillism.

Feaux particle board is the new mahogany

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Plot twist: this is actually solid mahogany with an OSB veneer

Beaver barf is beautiful because... I said so.

This has very much the feeling of what you described to it. Someone was payed to work, not argue.

It's got good bones

looks like a minecraft house. Honestly, that might do well with some people. If you were blind or hard of vision, it would be very easy to navigate by feel and memory.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

If the wood wasn't sealed/finished a blind person would probably end up with a splinter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It’s gaudy like Shaker Camouflage.
