I have to say that a French farmhouse style is preferable to the corporate megolith that replaced it on Cielo. Why not replace something pretty with something else pretty? I was never fond of homes in neighborhoods which stood out from the natural surroundings. The new owners wanted to erase the stigma and noteriety attached to 10050 Cielo so why build that huge white elephant. It stands out too much and simply defeats the purpose of demolishing the origonal home.
