Re: French Chateau Calgary Style?

It looks more like a French barn conversion than a chateau, however the inside is classic American nouveau riche. Marks out of ten? Maybe 5.

You have to applaud the way that even the mentally challenged can get a job as a journalist in Calgary. Or an architect.

I actually knew a McMansion architect, a man who's days were spent imagining and drawing seven and nine car garages with swimming pools, built-in hot dog stands and roof top golf courses. I got all schadenfreudy when the collapse of the housing market (in Phoenix) meant he had to live in one. It was surreal, not content with 12' internal doors usual in such a monstrosity, it had 16' doors and 20' ceilings. In the smaller rooms it felt as if the house had fallen over. |
