Today I was viewing a slideshow from the June issue of Monocle, where they presented homes of Afghanistan’s nouveau-riche (many are druglords), and I saw this house. I stopped an I was really amazed by this design. The most touching part was the big black shiny window that is a sign of power and luxury. I love this. What do you think ?

I don’t think it’s very bad, but if I was to build a house of this scale for myself I would certainly had built something along the lines of your previous post.
After watching the slideshow, I came to the conclusion that, while I like their classic architecture, the afghan rich people have questionable tastes
Ooo …. a reader from Romania. I’m glad to have you here Dragos. I hope you’ll come again on Freshome.
wooow…..a huge house……
Hi! I watched all the houses in the Architecture category.. very nice job, Michael.
When I saw this one, I first thought it is a gypsy castle you can see here in Romania.. the rich gypsy..:)
Anca, I’m also from Romania, and I know how a “gypsy castle” looks like, but as I’ve said I was impressed by that big black shiny window. Thanks anyway for passing by, and leaving a comment.
Wow.. how many people live in there? I’m Indonesian and I have seen a house like this in my country and one thing that i’m never forget “the bathroom made from 18c gold”.. huff..
