The billiard room is rather too far away from the kitchen. How will the snacks stay proper temp traveling that distance?

Isolated rooms with exterior walls on 3 sides will either be the hottest or coldest room in the house... depending on which season would be least convenient for which temperature. I say this from experience.

But I've always loved the idea of an interior courtyard in a personal residence! I'd put the garage doors on the exterior* (to eliminate the abysmal parking situation they've designed), and create a gorgeous tiled courtyard with fountain in the middle. But that's just me

(*-And yes, I understand that doing this compromises the defense capability of my stronghold, but since I haven't seen any Viking raiders or Norman conquerors anywhere near my abode, I'll take my chances!)

Nice but you run the risk of being attacked by Cossacks.

I like many styles. Besides... Just think how cool modern furniture would look in that house. Perfect counterpoint.

I always thought this was a cool house.

^ If only it weren't in Lake Elsinore. That is not a strong selling point. Move the whole thing closer to the ocean though, and it would be perfect.
