Google me a house

[imomus]

Sometimes I image google for my digital fantasy house. A house that I could happily live in, a place that expresses something about me and my aesthetic values. Here's the one I've chosen, Atelier Bow Wow's Kawanishi camping cottage in Niigata (plus some linked alternatives). Paste or link me the house that best expresses your aesthetic in the comments, please.




House 2

House 3

House 4

House 5

House 6

House 7

House 8

House 9

House 10

I should add that if I were cutting and pasting I'd probably prefer to put all the rural houses (or the house on another planet) in the middle of a dense Asian city (and on Earth).

not exactly bustling or asian, sorry.

I like symmetry, the James River, isolation, and steep roofs. And I hate what the current owners have done with the interior.

Oh my, yes.

I've always been partial to Monticello--I love how Jefferson's bed lies within a hole in the wall, with his library not a pace away. It's stately but surprisingly snug inside. I feel strangely at home there.

I've always wanted to take over one of the grand old halls on the Princeton campus.

I thought about Monticello too– the views of Albemarle County's rolling hills alone! – but in the end it's too much about one (fascinating) man to be reflective of my aesthetic.

My second choice would probably be Virginia House (http://www.vahistorical.org/vh/vh_house_main.htm), based on its Frankensteinian cobbling together of elements from an imaginary past to form something cohesive and of its time. Plus, I got married there.
