apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I am a sucker for a house that is shaped like a "house" - boxy with a steep pitched roof.

It looks like a rip-off of Jackson Meadow in Minnesota. Though at Jackson Meadow lots are small and the surrounding landscape is preserved as a public common space.

Yay! I love anything upstate!

how much?

ninesevenseven - THANK YOU! It was already starting to bug me because I knew I had seen something like the story, and I had no idea where....so thanks for reminding me!

We wandered into Jackson Meadow by accident once, making a wrong turn, and I was smitten by the idea and the architecture. I knew enough about their plan to put buildings close together so that there's larger public space to share before I had seen Jackson Meadow in person--otherwise, it's a bit odd to come across if you don't realize the person, because all of these white buildings (very similar to the ones pictured here) appear out of nowhere.

If someone prefers the country to the city, Jackson Meadow is a very responsible and green way to do it...plus you get the benefits of a neighborhood as well.

I meant, if you don't realize that in person when you see it...because all of these white buildings (very similar to the ones pictured here) appear out of nowhere.

Believe me, the countryside was much more beautiful without these things.

It's still a housing development and that still spoils the area.

Wow, those are darling. Even if they aren't "modern," they seem like they would lend themselves to modern furnishings, if the owners preferred.
