Architected Modern Condos

I have always wondered why most housing and condos are so dull and ordinary in design- ESPECIALLY large residential projects. Here in California, cookie-cutter homes and McMansions are everywhere. The cost of hiring a world-class architect is often insignificant compared to the total project costs. Well, at least a few projects are beginning to change that as designer condos catch on.
