Does anyone in SW Florida check out architectural trends from anywhere? Even staid old Architectural Digest???? Anything? Apparently not.

This home absolutely fits in with the faux Tuscan, faux Spanish, faux ANYTHING dreck that gets built in Naples/Marco. I'm sure it will sell. Will customers not buy original architecture? How can anyone who calls him/herself an architect look in the mirror when this is what they have to design/build?

If you have any interest at all in checking out what people (like us) appreciate elsewhere, take a look at www.a-cero.com. Why does no-one in SW Florida build anything even vaguely like this????

SWFlorida is a peaceful, friendly place, but, unfortunately, without a cultural pulse.

Look at the entertainment offering, the same stale Bdwy & Big Band stuff year after year, the mediocre restaurants, even those ugly uninspired Cadillacs so many island non-pimps need to drive.

A friend wanted to install drip irrigation system on her property, but couldn't find any local contractor who knew how to do it.

Should you build some type of imaginatively designed home here, you'd be in serious trouble if you wanted to sell it.
