Re: MODERN CITY CONDO

I love this. I would change a few of the photos (because they are of people for whom I do not care) but otherwise I love the vibe. I would certainly keep HMTQ. She is a great addition. The older I get the more simple black, white, and gray appeals to me. Thank you for posting.

If one is into city scapes, the views are cool. Everything about this, though, says office or hotel to me- not in any way "homey." Definitely not my cup of tea, but it's still fun to see different places and decorating styles.

It is very different, cool looking for those who like this type of living-very interesting...

I had an Aunt and Uncle who lived in a high rise downtown Chicago for most of their life, and they loved it-it was so pretty and the views you could just sit and stare for hours......

I remember thinking then I am going to live in one of these when I grow up......lol......

I "almost" rented an apartment at the Marina Towers...but the weird "pie-slice shaped" floor plan stopped me! di

This is much more my style than most of the houses you post. I'd still remove some of the vintage decor from the condo along with most of the artwork as it looks to cluttered and I don't care for a lot of it. Thank you so much for posting a more contemporary home. 👏

After my father passed away my mother sold their home and moved into a high-rise She absolutely loved it. She was on the 17th floor and had a full view of the city below. But she did not have those floor to ceiling windows. They would have been unsettling to her.

I always thought it would be fun to live in a high-rise, but like my mom, those kind of windows would be a big "no" to me.

I don't like contemporary unless it is very minimalist and very clean. I think that is what makes it attractive. This is just one big tangled web. I see lots of things I like but I don't think they have been put together well. She is the first contemporary hoarder I have seen. ;-)

Oh, boy, @Mz iMac , that's quite a scenario! I wonder why in some cases you would have to bombard it TWICE. I suppose once to weaken it, and then the final breaking through.

How horrible about Eric Clapton's son-- I didn't realize he had broken through the window, as opposed to just falling out of an open one. The stuff of the most hideous nightmares, either way.

I've lived in a number of apartments, but none of the increasingly popular ones where the glass goes right to the floor-- that's what always freaks me. Like there's not even a tiny threshold keeping me back!

@santorini , that must have been harrowing! Thank goodness one of the panes held.

@haddon9 , I wouldn't dare look at those buildings!

@lindapip , you sum up perfectly my reaction to such dwellings. They're not "me", but I'm fascinated with the concept carried out so well, and so personally. She knows what she's doing, within her style. You get an immediate feeling that this is a person with a thoughtful and well-curated aesthetic.

@shoptilyadropagain , you're welcome. I'd post more contemporary spaces, if I could find more that have that personal, curated feeling @lindapip and I were talking about.

Online, at least, I haven't had good luck finding ones with a definable point of view-- many are stark, bland boxes with little indication of the felicitous individual likes and dislikes of the owner. But every once in awhile, one will grab me...
