  1. This is so interesting to me because I want to be an architect when grow up and I want to design exotic houses kind of like what was done with the Decagon House. I do not like average homes I like to be different but not so different that it takes the seriousness away from the structure. This is a beautiful house and it is extremely inspiring to me.

  4. Nice to see how the bling boys live! The outside design looks like an optical illusion. My fav room is the circular room & spa, of course! The kitchen is very alternative, never seen one like that before....a bit unsure on how many bedrooms are inside? I wonder how much time it would all take to clean, hehee.

  7. I live in Australia and I love Kevin's program. For this particular house, what I really liked was the showerhead in the ensuite of the master bedroom. Where does it come from ??? I just need to know. Pretty please catherine

  8. A masterpiece! For two years I lived at Newman College at The University of Melbourne, Australia, and the similarities between Walter Burley Griffin's design and David Williams' architecture are remarkable. I hope the architect and Henry get an opportunity to visit Newman as I'm sure they would find the adventure quite thrilling.
