I love Domeck! The videos from ThoughtCraft are really cool, too.

They show that contemporary is not just playing tetris and is in some ways harder to do well than more traditional

I like Domeck too. That plan would get destroyed if it had been posted here! But it perfectly matches what the owners requested and shows how we all have very different ideas of what the perfect house looks like.

Like picking Miss America--when that was a thing!

OK, Franklin.

Like the slope matching the terrain and blending rather than standing apart.
