Wow, it fits in so well with its surrounding environment. 😛
Looks like something the Addams Family would live in!!
A boy can dream, can't he?
Actually, I love where I live now. 🙂

I don't have one dream home in particular, however, I've always wanted a home in the Italian countryside (or better yet, this one) or a place on the beach, like one of these two. But I suppose if I have to live in the city, this Boston house will suffice (though I think I'd be doing quite a bit of redecorating).

Those are very interesting homes above for sure, but I kind of like a small house with standard materials, and thicker walls like the house I am in now. If I had too much glass I would either freeze to death or unilaterally keep the Middle East rich paying heating bills.
Unless I have a ton of kids, I don't see a need to go over 1,000 sq. feet, but part of that stems from me not being a pack rat anymore. If I don't use it, I give it away, recycle it, or if it's not worth anything to anybody, it goes in the trash.
I used to need a big house, or more space, because I used to like to keep around large collections of "anything" like models/stamps/coins/store signs/neon signs/fishing nets/power tools, guitars lying all about the house, many Macs and PCs, and more furniture than I knew what to do with. It was pack rat central. Somewhere along the line, I really got sick of "stuff" and got into believing less being best. I use a Mac mini and that sums up my philosophy.
My health got better because I was breathing in less dust, I don't miss the collections of junk, I play guitar much better because I stick to one instead of ten, and when I need a tool, I can find it and actually know how to use it. In my pack rat days, I wanted to get a really cool jack hammer and nail gun. 🙂

Dream World: It's not your grandfather's theme park
I've been thinking of building a few dream homes...
Adding an administrative building for sales and vacation rentals...
Along with the obligatory diner and convenience store...
And hiring a hippie girl to handle camper rentals...
Dream World: Where cars fly, robots serve our every whim, and alien spaceships rule the skies!

I've always enjoyed Frank Lloyd Wright's 'Falling Water'.
Though the ceilings are far too low for me.
it's certainly an interesting place to visit, but I found the constant sound of water to be a bit... distracting?
my personal would be the Robie house if i were to choose a FLW design

ever since seeing lord of the rings, a hobbit house is the way forward, it'd have to be slightly taller though lol
And I'd want it complete with Iron Man suit, Jarvis AI, the whole nine. (Female reporter optional.)
