Yes, "cool" would be the most appropriate description here!!

Dale, the house you posted? Controversial? Why? It's great!

Actually I think it's great also, but I showed it to a colleague, and he went off like a cannon, so I suspected others might as well.
Here's a little more info on it.

When it's winter it's always nice to think of those pleasant outdoor spaces.

Well Dale, you've rekindled my love for interesting housing design again! ('Sustainable' or not, I don't care, as long as it's really cosy!!) Thanks very much.

Here's one architect I am really passionate about, Andrew Michael Geller, particularly the Pearlroth beach house;

Interestingly, I think I am more familiar with his artwork than his architecture. Thanks for this.
