Big fan of the West Indies style of architecture. Currently building a house in FL in this style.

The photo of Cameron's garage is a nice addition; one of my friends actually bought that house.
Lived in this house in college, such a cool old home

Was always a fan of the big Vermont farmhouse, with a giant red barn next to it. There are a gazillion I could post.
Yeah, I like his work too, but if you would use him as your architect in Mazama right now, my friends there might find that off-putting.Quote:

Frankly he sounds like a royal asshole.

Snow White house in Washington:

My buddy's build predated this fiasco and, for what its worth, the wheels on the huts are used practically - never knew they were perceived as a legal end-around. I actually think they are pretty minimalist and non-intrusive. No plumbing, mobile, back off the road. I can imagine he won't be welcomed back in the area though.Quote:

Sometimes it's not what you live in but where you live.

That property was never zoned for a rental hotel whatever property, and Wesola Polana, (we call the place hakuna matata), was definitely designed that way, (with the wheels), as a work around. I don't really care, I like that he and that owner figured a way around the rules in that instance. I think that's also why the huts don't have bathrooms. Food was better before it became Kelly's, as it was pretty amazing to have Tapas and Polish beers and watch soccer in that location.Quote:

The hut's still there, it was moved back from the edge, so it's just not in the view of the folks who sold the property, that was the main sticking point, (but you can still easily see it from Rt. 20 as you drive by. I think Tom was a huge dick for putting that thing up there. That said, after it was put in, I was kinda for it, because as you drive down the valley, there are plenty of shitty, garbage strewn, rotten-car-in-the-front-yard dumps that "ruin" the view, but nobody gives a shit about ugly redneck properties.
Oh well. I'd still use him, I like his designs.
Huh, cant say it surprises me that he got creative about the zoning. Nice to hear a local's perspective. I'm definitely going to have a few drinks and ask him wtf at the Polish Thanksgiving. If you want me to up that to a dickpunch and a "plugboots says hi," I'm willing.Quote:

Who’s the genius that puts a ton of horizontal roof lines in heavy snowfall areas?
Actually most modern architecture looks like one giant standing water problem to me.

it's funny how often you see the flat roofline- our Sears collapsed this winter from snow load but it was a pretty big winterQuote:

It's so dry here there's not nearly the standing water problem in the east
