massive enclosed tropical atrium with pond; lotus flowers, koi and gently babbling waterfall. the atrium would be climate and humidity controlled to allow all sorts of exotic plants (orchids, carnivorous plants, etc.), with several side rooms allowing their own micro-climate for plants that would not do well in the general atrium.

this would be a place for quiet contemplation. the door would lock securely from the inside. there would be several comfortable seats and small padded mats in isolated corners, and next to each one would be a nice pen and a small pad of paper.

also there would be a very discreet bathroom area, and an even more discreet small kitchen area; tiny heating element that's just enough to heat water for tea... a tea kettle, tea cups, and an assortment of various teas, as well as fresh fruit and some light snacks.

 

yes yes yes!

All I need is some quality garage space.

 

hmmmm ignore me in this picture but heres my backyard.... I think it'd be pretty sweet to have had it put in our foyer... nothing easier than falling asleep to the sound of trickling water ^_^

 

Indoor full olympic sized pool, outdoor coi pond, 10-15 car underground garage only accessible by using the car elevator, fireplace in master bedroom, giant saltwater aquarium. I think thats it.

 

I always wanted to make a fish aquarium for one of the walls in my shower. Like the whole back wall of the shower would be an aquarium. Know what I mean? Or perhaps make a hollow bath tub that would house the aquarium.

 

Ok...if I were rich this is what I would get in my house (as a bachelor)

1) 20-30 car garage, climate controlled with 3 lifts

2) Stripper poles with dance area. I would probably have a mini-setup of "The Lodge" (Dallas, TX...that place was amazing) replete with bar and DJ setup.

3) Olympic sized swimming pool, with a mosaic tile montage of the Ferrari Prancing Horse and an old school F1 race car in the pool.

4) Underground bunker capable of withstanding a nuclear war and blasts with a .5 mile radius stocked with 10 year supply of MREs and water filtration, some type of power generation and HVAC. Also...this is where I would keep my cache of weapons and ammo.

5) A Starbucks setup somewhere in the house.

 

+1 for secret rooms/passages.

oooo! I also want that secret compartment in a pillar like Tony Soprano had. Store my own AK's and grenades in there.

 

A house like Richard Branson's, especially a full bathroom open to a full view of the sea.

 

yeah I saw that one on TV....he is a pimp.

 

I would love a three level house made with concrete and glass and an underground garage.
