It's revisionist mid-20th century International Style with more glass and latice work that reminds me of mobile phone backgrounds.
I wish more of the inner motiff was on the exterior instead of the glass box look. You can see some of the wood on the underside only.

I agree that the glass box look can be somewhat boring and unimaginative but I don't think I would want to see more wood in the exterior design. I find that the use of wood quickly becomes dated. The use of wood on the exterior of modern homes exploded in the mid-2000's and it seemed really cool. But now when I drive down streets in Kensington, Marda Loop or Killarney the homes that incorporated wood don't seem to be as modern as they were only a few years ago.
