In general I think tall skinny houses are a mediocre solution to increasing density, but a necessary compromise given the mild clash we are experiencing between the politics of legacy regulations/thought with economic reality. I do particularly disdain tall skinny designs that try to look like craftsman/traditional homes...the geometry and proportion simply do not work...it's not visually pleasing and everyone knows it. Let's get creative...go modern or, as in this great example, adopt a historical geometry that fits...the alpine A-frame. I'm so proud of whoever was creative enough to design this street facade and also of the person who paid a little extra to make something visually pleasing for themselves and the community.
