Comments on: Sapphire condominiums http://cheapshitcondos.com/wordpress/2009/05/sapphire-condominiums/ The new urban blandscape sweeping through Seattle Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:25:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Holler Man http://cheapshitcondos.com/wordpress/2009/05/sapphire-condominiums/comment-page-1/#comment-1889 Holler Man Mon, 10 May 2010 15:47:17 +0000 http://cheapshitcondos.com/wordpress/?p=668#comment-1889 Nothing revives a run down neighborhood like a stack of cargo containers blatantly displayed in a visible location. Oh look! They added more living (?) space by pushing some of the walls out just like those fancy mobile homes that dot the landscape in the Arkansas Ozarks. Why, sho' 'nuf Uncle Geezer, y'all kin come and feel rat at home so longs as you-un don't try puttin' an outhouse on the cement railed ledge outside. Besides, we gots us some of that indoor plumming though we don't use it because the dog hates when us-ens crap in his water bowl. Say hey to Aunt Caramella and tell her we's a prayin' that the Good Lord will stop her colitis so she kin go to church without droppin' her load before the colectshun plates is passed.

One little problem with all-brick facades out here in earthquake country, scottyz: they turn into scree slopes after a few seconds of lurching. And since no one around here carries an umbrella, it would kind of suck to be a pedestrian in front of THAT building! With an inspired mind, even constructivism and modernism can be attractive and interesting. Ooooh, cinder blocks….

Seattle really is full of ugly condos being built, and when looking through all of the photos, this one has to be one of the ugliest. it looks like these have all been built by developers that are trying to build them as ass-cheap as possible and then sell them for higher. here in Chicago there are some ugly ones, but - for one thing - buildings need to be built with brick, so we don't have any of the ugly painted wood. and there's a supposed law that mandates fitting in with the rest of the block, in size and looks (though this doesn't always happen). we do have our fill of cheap cookie-cutter condos being put up that have a brick facade in the front and then cinder block everywhere else. Anyway, I wish Seattle well - these buildings really are horrendous, and that's not even with the view of the surroundings. ugh. Scotty Z.

This aint no condo.Its Clown College or a barber school. Obviously the architect was inspired by the first but would of been better off attending the later. Red and white stripes?

Sapphire is definitely a diamond in the rufff... that's bow-wow, ruff-ruff. Imagine romantic evenings spent sitting on your deck watching the street lights change. Actually, once folks start moving in and storing tricycles, BBQs, spare beds on the lanais, that's when the place will really gets it's character. The house will sell before the condos.
