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.

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).

Hilltop House, Brooksville, Florida
The Hilltop House, one of Morgan's greatest designs, epitomizes his intention to build with the earth, not on it, the essential attribute of his earth architecture. The site is a hill 2000 feet in diameter, rising 70 feet, located in central Florida, the top of which the clients chose as their favorite picnic spot before the house was built. First seen from a great distance, the house strikes one as being at once both natural and man-made, archaic and modern. The house draws the massive heaviness of the hill up into a pyramidal form, its corners oriented to the cardinal points, and its spaces framed by earth-retaining walls of geometric precision. The rooms of the house open in four directions, fronted by protected terraces cut into the ground, so that this most earth-bound of houses is paradoxically cross-ventilated by all four winds. The upper level of the house, named "the Observatory," is a single, central room, crowned by a pyramidal roof that brings the lines of the house and hill to its peak, and from which one is afforded uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. Inspired by prehistoric earth architecture, this house provides its occupants both modern spatial freedoms and an intensely spiritual connection to the earth.
