My favorite is the 8 1/2 and Rutland. The 8 1/2 has rich details and is such a pleasure to explore. It's the most impressive overall. You'll find innovative touches in many parts of the house. Rutland has funky taste to it, and its integration of new construction with old one is sublime yet distinct. Some weird touches like particle board and plastic grass flooring. These two houses has some strong Japanese touch to it. Haskell has nice concept, monumental presence and central atrium but the construction can have better quality. Southmore is playful but too student-ish and rather bland (maybe because it's space for sale). While minimalist, orthogonal designs with material and planar plays have their appeals, I have a feeling that they are starting to be overused.
