I recently installed a plugin to assist with crawling the web for particularly interesting pages quickly. One of the pages that came across my view was “The Most Peaceful House Ever“. I thought I would capture the photos and comment a bit about what I would like to have at some point in a future home.
I love the idea of a broad view of the surrounding area; I don’t feel a strong need to overlook water or a valley below, but having a vantage point with a view seems to be imperative. Perhaps a deck like this would allow for unobstructed views of a beautiful night sky, or city skyline.
Another view of what this deck is overlooking. Notice the open sensation through the use of windows and light color wood!
A hot tub, in the open air, with a view? What more could someone want? This edgeless variety rings of the possibility of a romantic evening with the wife, or just a relaxing way to unwind from traveling or playing with the kids!
This mist makes it look a bit surreal, but the I like this look of landscaping. A bricked path makes for easy and classy navigation, and the sign helps visitors make their way around. I love the lofted structures in the background. I might even consider a slightly higher version to accomplish a more removed and relaxed sense. Naturally, these buildings would be fully outfitted with the latest in tech advancements.
Another pool for relaxing in the sun. with my fair complexion, I might consider some type of light sun protection. As I think about having children, I think I’d want the far edge to have something there rather than a sheer drop off; maybe a grassy hill?
A close up of the lofted buildings! These are such a classy way to handle a myriad of needs. In this case, the previous sign suggested that one of these buildings was for a library, but I could easily see a guest house/room, a reading room, a nap-room, or just a play-house for myself and the kids.
The inside of one of the lofted guest rooms. Plenty of natural light. Comfortable seating and bedding. Professionally finished. I think I agree with using a light color wood to encourage the positive and natural atmosphere.
Do you have thoughts on what you might do if this were yours? Please comment!
