After watching a lot of Grand Designs, a CBC streaming show that tells the story of fussy rich people building customized mansions, I got inspired to design some unique homes. This house comes complete with suspended patio, path to nowhere, and a brick pillar. To capture the night time atmosphere, I adapted the colour scheme according to Handprint.com (MacEvoy) who described the hue and chroma shift that occurs in scoptic (dark) light conditions. There were a few easy to remember conclusions: white becomes a shimmering blue, yellow becomes mustardy-ochre, red and orange turn dark maroon, and blue becomes similar to green.

If manicured lawns and stately architecture is your taste, then we have dream house #2 for you to look at. Complete with manicured lawn, interlocking brick, a guest house, and a duck pond. Paradise in the city!

Before you make your final decision, let us look at another option, a water front property that is literally on the water front. Taking cantilever design to an extreme, this bungalow has excellent views of the sunset, and you can catch fish from your living room window. Moving in might be a little difficult, same with entering or leaving, but hey, style over substance.
