Pick One

Whoa- This latest meeting with HSpaceDB was exciting. To think that we actually get to pick a direction of design for a new home was a bit overwhelming and very grownup of us. The three plans given to us by Scott and this loyal gang were impressive and beautiful.




First, a cubic modern dream home with its water cooling features and clean lines.


































Second, the earth model sunk into the ground with a south wall running one end of the house to the other heating and cooling us thought the year.











































And third the modern farmhouse with its vaulted ceilings and private bedroom wing.



Details of all the floors and orientation on the pasture really brought the project to life. In just few minutes it didn't take long to eliminate one scheme from pile and the farmhouse lost. Our final decision came down to going with the earth scheme. The combination of beauty and layout of the house was "genius." So now the process of flipping rooms around, tweaking things has begun. I dreamt last night that I actually walked through the front door of this house.
