Its not good for laps and it's hard to divide for team water sports. Of course my pool is round - same issues.Pete said:What is wrong with a Lima bean shaped pool?

What's interesting is that some of these monsters are 5,000+ square feet and they don't really seem all that spacious. Then you get this one at 3700 sq. ft. and it seems enormous.
I like that main floor layoutmrweb said:I also like Italian, this one sorta combines the turret idea with the Italian design.

Third house is just too big for my taste.
Like the second house the best.

Better like to climb stairs too... Three stories with the garage on the lowest level and the master bedroom on the third floor... sheww. Better like stairs A LOT! But I guess if you can afford that huge of a house, an elevator shouldn't be too far out of the budget either...
It's easy to look at a plan and elevations a say how nice they look, but how practical they are from a build-ability standpoint and how well they function are a totally different story. All those curves and angled walls are nice to look at, but they are expensive and they eat up the square footage, making the cost sky rocket.
IMO, unless your a builder, you'll go broke trying to build something like that.
Is someone looking to build one of these, or just dreaming? My best guess is that plan one:$600,000 w/o lot or site imrpovements; plan two: 400 to 450 w/o lot/imrpovements; likely to be close to $650k w/o site considering having four floors and two stairs....

The place we are getting ready to build has a 1 st floor master and the other rooms are upstairs. (No sneaking out or in by anyone)

Stairs are the only thing keeping my azz from expanding to the size of Texas.elaine said:I'm so over the stairs.
I have only a small step up into the house and kept everything all on one level. I can't imagine living on three levels.elaine said:I'm so over the stairs.
