Lucas Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yeah I found that a few years ago. Way too uber-modern and sterile for me. Totally agree HB Not a fan of that style of architecture - a lot of that here in NJ .. In the 1960s, it might have been different, but it gets old, quick .. Alex, dear, come in here for a minute .. I want to show you our new rug - it's made of ties 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 A shame that he didn't just buy LeStudio and convert it into his private residence. It had way more charm than this place. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) A shame that he didn't just buy LeStudio and convert it into his private residence. It had way more charm than this place.that ship has obviously sailed. It couldn't even be sold for the property itself. Did The White Stripes design his kitchen? Looks like it could have been one of those houses made out of shipping containers. Edited August 17, 2018 by HemiBeers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I always wonder about these "country houses" with flat roofs, and how they hold up under large snowfalls. Especially in Canada... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks peeps, the axe was a gold top Les Paul 12 string, looked like Al had a whammy bar added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I like the more modern, angular stuff. Even the bright colors are nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddyleegenes Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am a fan of great architecture of all types. There was a time when I wanted to be an architect, but then I discovered you have to know math. (Me not know math good.) To me, this house is absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. This is also the first time I've ever seen the lovely Mrs. Lifeson. Alex did damn good, in many ways! Thanks for posting this, JohnnyBlaze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It reminds me of a futuristic house in a film from 1970. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Well, how tall is he? Answers varied but all fell within 5’10 to 6’1. Some guessed he’s shrinking due to age and is closest to 5’10 now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
