"Pick it apart for how they will live" I guess I did do that, but it was kind of pre-emptive, knowing some people would pick out exacty those things. And funny, but remember the Stanley Andersen house I share recently? This is pretty much the opposite, isn't it, and yet I love the style of them both, and they both show thoughtful design.

If I ever build, I will drive my architect to early retirement, I'm sure!

Well, picking apart houses for how they will live is pretty much the raison d'etre for this forum!

It appears the design extended beyond the exterior walls of the house. I like that.

With those views, it could be a shack and would be TDF!

Hey, Mark, how do you think the conversation went about the windows in the living room: lining up on the exterior versus the interior?

And do you think the wall between the bar and the hearth room was added later? It's just that it's not under a beam as the wall behind the range, and the wall behind the tv, are. (Are there lights in the middle of the beams? Cool)

Windows: There may have been some slurred speech when laying them out, but with a view like that everyone is looking through the windows and not at the windows.

Bar wall: It gives the intoxicated at the bar something to think about. Most bars I have been in in the daylight are pretty scary. I know why there is dim lighting in them.

I'm kind of surprised I like it. Not thrilled about the outside but really like the inside. I like that it is secluded. Love the views. I love the different wood used throughout the house. It's not something I would build.

I do like it, although wouldn't build it. We went an opposite direction with our last buy and thinking ahead, bought 3,000 sq feet on one level, no stairs.

That last aerial view had me in a heartbeat. I could spend months of the year there. Without window coverings when only wildlife would be peeking.

I wasn't crazy about the kitchen. If that was a full time residence at some point, it looks a little tight.
