The early dreams

Once, a long time ago, in my late high school early college days, I was interested in becoming an architect. Not only interested, I had my mind set. I took the classes and looked at possible Universities that offered the degree. Years later I realized my niche' was in photography and design, in which soon I began to study and pursue. But that's not to say that I'm not an appreciator or lover of architecture. I enjoy and love everything in this form of art and design...with a little science thrown in. I would however, one day like to design my own place. That has always been one of my few dreams.

The place more than likely would look similar to this (below) but a little more discreet in terms of the design structure for privacy.
I love the exposed wood grain of the sheet slats on the ceilings and the clean functional design. The lighting is very welcoming. The structure looks like it belongs there, embedded amongst the trees next to the lake.

"Eight 1-1/2" bolts support steel legs-strategically placed placed to preserve the old trees the reach into the earth that support a panelized roof and a suspended "belly" that floats within the coniferous canopy". -Zero Plus Architects
