The Boomer House had me smitten from the first photo. I had no idea it still existed just a couple of hours away! <BR/>We dissected the plan and used the rooflines to create a house and separate guesthouse/studio out of concrete block, steel and glass (no wood--the termites here are horrendous). The engineering and construction were a nightmare, but the house is pretty much everything I wanted. the triangles add big bucks to the cost, but they are so pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't change them. I would, however, confine them to the roof and keep the underlying building in right angles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1173929760111267232007-03-15T17:36:00.000+13:002007-03-15T17:36:00.000+13:00Wrong Steve, it does blend into the environment. ...Wrong Steve, it does blend into the environment.
