  1. More money than sense,,,
  2. The first or the third one. i think i would choose the third one, but like you said get rid of a few windows.
  3. i like the 3rd and 4th one... i think that none of them really look like mt. houses thou. for the 3rd one i think you should leave the windows so you could see the view
  4. I liked the second one best. But I don't think you could go wrong with any of these.
  5. The first one is my favorite... It is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. I love house number 1 and 2 but it is your choice youhave to live in it all of them are really preety!!!!! But my favs are 1 and 2 but build what makes you happy!!! ♥
  7. european medditeranean plan. go for it.
  8. I LOV the 4th one it is so pretty and the land scaping is so awesome
  9. Choose one or three! They are AWESOME! (The windows for three though actually make it look real pretty!)
  10. Not only do you have to look at the type of house that you want but the surrounding houses...do you want yours to stand out far different then the ones there...Does the area have a covent and dictacts certain styles.. A while back I built a 2.3 Mil house in the mountains of Georgia and it was 4500sf 4 stores tall, but because it was on a mountain the way it was built it took in effect the landscape and looks very natural..The type of material used on the exterior can help in making blend into the surrondings and there was a lot of custom woodworking done on the inside to fit the Mountian theme...What you really need to do is to pick what you want and not ask people for thier ideas...This is your house and one that from the looks of the sample is going to be a very large investment and one that you want to plan out to fit you not what other say...however I did take a look at them and some have more viewing ability then others...Do you want to see the Mountains or a part through smaller window...These and many other question can be worked out thought the acrhitect that you get for this project...Keep in mind when you choose a contractor to get at least 3 bids and check thier references by calling people on thier customer list and asking how they did...was there a lot of change orders (they can run the cost of a project sky high)...Good luck
