What is your perception of the California Room?

It’s “all of the above”.

Where is the option “Savior to the housing market”?

Pick may NOT be true.

Where is the “I haven’t a friggin’ clue” response?

Go to the website.

Study the floor plans

Watch the commercial.

The obvious answer would be found.

TIC did not even hire me and I am helping it by sending bloggers to the website. This trivia marketing technique is a lot more effective than the useless expensive commercial on TV that no one on IHB remember a thing being said.

You forgot the TIC answer:

? Higher profit for little cost

That is a true answer I am looking for a false answer.

C’mon this is way too false and I don’t give away answer so easily.

Where is Cameray or Joey?

That’s my thought, it looks like just enough structure that I suspect they’ve found a way to include the patios square footage in the living space.

TIC can’t legally count the patio space as footage. However it cost almost next to nothing since all the trades are already there. It can’t cost more than $12/sf.

Hey bk, does “loggia” = “California Room”?

Hey bk, does “loggia” = “California Room”?

1/2 Yes. but loggia does not reveal the sloping roof underside.

A California room is way to steal the Hawaain “Lenai” (sp?) without a patent infringement lawsuit.

bk, are you looking for the answer that is incorrect from your list?

I voted “2 of the above” without doing my homework beforehand, Sensei. (I know “Sensei” is Japanese but I like it).

“An outdoor room for mild SoCal climate”.

It’s a nice place for hornets to nest, maybe even a swallow or two. With no airflow it’s only going to get hotter under the roof during the summer, but it will be a perfect place to stay dry during the warm winter rains… as long as there is no wind. Spiders will like it, plenty of anchor points for webs, keeping some of the gnats at bay. These are common problems with all porches, but I think the reason it is most “wrong” is that it’s not specific to California. Covered porches have been a staple of home building long before Junipero Serra began building missions and certainly before California became a popular place to overpay for housing. You could just as easily call if a New York room or a Rome room or a Taipei room.

Very interesting way of viewing it. I am very allergic to spider bites and I must visit an ER each time. Mrs BK is allergic to bee sting and could die from her swelling of her air passage blocking air intake to her lungs.

We would not want a California Room since it is an ideal place for insects to nest.

a cal room is for people now have SFRs but who miss their IAC balcony…

One thing I really dislike about these loggias, California Rooms, etc is that it blocks the light into the house.  THere’s a couple of homes I have seen in TRidge with these loggias, and I imagine the CR will be the same issue- it already makes these Tuscan-inspired houses even more dark- and it’s depressing to me.

You’re helping nature out at least.
