Interesting to see. I liked the last one; it look very liveable. How many
square feet does it hold?
What interests me is maximizing useful space (living plus storage) in
minimal square feet. One thing that bothered me very much about most new
houses is that there is so much wasted space, which inevitably translates
into higher heating/cooling bills. Also, however, I found most to have a
very cold/inhospitable feel because many seemed to be so "grand" that they
ended up feeling more like hotel lobbies than homes.
I think it's rare for efficiency, comfortable living/storage space, and
warmth to be integrated well, so it's always interesting to me to see cases
where they are. Especially in a clean style - for some reason, people now
seem to assume that contemporary is the same as modern, which in turn means
"sterile". None of which has to be true; it just seems to be the current
trend, from what I've seen. Too bad...
