COMMENT OF THE DAY: THOSE HIGH-PRICED TEARDOWN MCMS ARE KEEPING MODERN ARCHITECTS IN BUSINESS “There’s another million dollar factor that is killing the mods — people who dig MCM self-identify as being “very into Design.” When it comes time to put down some real money, they look at all the mods available in the 1 million and up range, and then after much gnashing of teeth they spend 2-3 times what they thought they were going to spend to hire an architect and build their own.” [Harold Mandell, commenting on Comment of the Day: The $1 Million Problem with River Oaks Mid-Century Moderns]
