Architected Modern Condos
I have always wondered why most housing and condos are so dull and ordinary in design- ESPECIALLY large residential projects. Here in California, cookie-cutter homes and McMansions are everywhere. The cost of hiring a world-class architect is often insignificant compared to the total project costs. Well, at least a few projects are beginning to change that as designer condos catch on.

80 South Street Tower - in New York City, these condo townhouses are a unique stacked cube architecture designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. It fuses both modern art and architecture.
Museum Residences in Denver, overlooks the Denver Art Museum. These residences were designed by Daniel Libeskind.
Aura Condos - Another Daniel Libeskind condo, this one a high rise located in Sacramento, CA. (Warning, annoying audio track in this link). Also related is a condo project in Sacramento called Epic. Here's a list of All Daniel Libeskind Projects.
