Rosebud.

I'm disheartened by the replacement of the meaning of "cool house" with "garish house" with many of the houses posted.

Perhaps cool, garish and weird are all the same to many.

I guess it's just subjective. I posted a jail converted to a house. lots here would think it's weird. I think it's cool.

now for a cool house picture:

You have a point kach. Many are completely unnecessary, but personally I like the uniqueness.

The house pictured has always been one of my favorites in the West Michigan area. It was sold earlier this year for $600,000 - a steal in my opinion thatis no where near the cost of replication. The house was designed by Dirk Lohan, a grandson of Mies Van Der Rohe. This home is probably the best example of international design in West Michigan. The exterior is a simple 42 geometric solid while the interior offers a contiguous flow of space over four floors. The home is settled on 10.00 acres of wooded land with three of those acres being manicured lawn. Multiple teak decks are found in the master bedroom, formal dining room and living room along with the fourth floor rooftop deck. Every room has 12' to 16' glass walls which form the exterior walls of this amazing home.

What makes you think it's a living room, not a garage?

I love cars but frankly they smell of fuel, oil, and maybe even roadkill...

More importantly how do you pull a "I'm going out to the garage to work on my car dear." when the car is sitting right there?

Another 'Summer Cottage'...The Breakers, Newport, RI. Garish?...maybe, but still pretty cool.
