I'm terrible, I think both the original and the sample of what the new house might look like are super duper ugly. I feel like most modern homes are so ugly. They have money, make it beautiful.

It's infuriating. The house was beautiful and historic. Why couldn't they have bought a tear down or god forbid not live in a 25,000 or whatever sq. foot mansion?

Pics/history of the house they tore down:

I haven't seen too many midcentury houses but this one is kinda blah/ugly on the inside ngl. It has some nice parts though.

Yea to each their own, i'm not a fan of MCM homes myself (though i did love the fireplace, windows, atrium, and pool) but for me, it's the fact that it's a historic home by a renowned architect, and surely someone else could've bought it that would appreciate its history and aesthetic. It sounds like it was quietly sold to them instead of marketed. Aside from the history, the wastefulness of tearing down a perfectly fine, functioning home is so frustrating to me. And i have no doubt they'll build something ugly in its place.

Yeah on history alone I wouldn't have torn it down.

They seem like the type of trash who would do something like this, so it tracks for them.

Can't they just buy a huge plot of land and build their dream home? They have the money.

It's apparently across the street from Maria Shriver's two houses.

Two houses!!!

so there was already a house they could have lived in

Not my style of house at all, but if it's culturally significant, why not just leave it alone and move elsewhere? Someone who would have appreciated it could have lived there. And the lot is only one acre? That doesn't sound like somewhere you'd move to just for the land. Weird.
