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.

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;
