We always liked the look. This plan in particular has caught my fancy
http://tiny.cc/2sYTT
Ease of construction, no interior bearing walls, large expanses of
glass for solar gain and quality sight lines.
This will be our retirement cabin in rural west central Wisconsin. I am
not married to the idea though. We still have a year to decide on the
final design.
Thanks for your interest.
