Incongruous design?

Architecture never stops evolving, improving, or sometimes revisiting the past. In the early 80s, “contemporary” design was cool in Park City, Utah.

Then it progressively went out of fashion and reverted into a more alpine-inspired look with sloped roofs, massive timbers, ornate trusses and the like.

For now a few years, we're back into a radical contemporary look, with fish-tank views inside the home, showing suspended staircases and the like.

The only problem is that this new style, when planted into established neighborhood, either because of a last lot filling in or a more radical tear-down project, doesn't blend harmoniously with the surrounding established style.

In fact, it sticks up like a sore thumb and I fear that it soon will go out of style in a hurry like most “contemporary” pieces of housing that have preceded it.

Incongruous? I'd say!
