Love it!

How much would it cost to build this Yoga Studio. I have a 4-acre parcel facing a 30 acre beaver pond where it would be perfect!

Douglas - this building was approximately $500/sf when constructed in 2010, but construction costs have increased substantially since then, especially in last 18 months. It would likely cost between 500k-650k if constructed to identical spec today.

Love the kitchen design but don't really see the connection with the zebra and why you would want to have it in your kitchen but it still does look very eye-catching. But as with all home design what one person likes isn't always likeable to someone else so think if you do like it, its your home and that's all that's important as its you that has to live in it!

POLL: Ivy on the home - love or loathe?
Q
Comments (32)
I hate it. I quite like the smell and the look is quite nice (especially if over an ugly building). However the cons, and there are many, far out-weigh the pros. High maintenance, potential structural damage, insects (though I don't mind them too much) and worse - you may as well be building a network of ladders for mice and rats to get around. Ugh. On the structural damage - with old houses, it is essential that the pointing is regularly checked and it has to be redone from time to time. Even if the ivy doesn't cause damage by getting in through cracks, it still traps moisture and holds it in your porous brick walls for longer causing potential damage to brickwork and timbers behind it such as lintels and joists. Even at the very least it obscures the view of your walls so you can't check your pointing regularly and monitor any cracks (which you mightn't notice until too late anyway if ivy-covered). Ivy is just bad news for a building even if it does look nice. Edited to add one more thing, that I forgot - ivy spreads rapidly and aggressively (birds sprinkle the berries around) and smothers trees and other plants so it's not all that environmentally friendly after all.

POLL: Bungalow - love or loathe?
Q

Yes that was one of the issues with our place. Narrow corridors, poorly lit. But by rearranging the access to key spaces, blocking some doors and creating a new double width doorway to the principle room, what was a narrow hallway is now integrated and useful. By converting the large loft, we now have a stairwell lit by two velux windows which also throw light into the heart of the building. Lastly the old underhouse garage is now a studio, glazed with full height blue-grey aluminium windows and a door. Our originally depressing, generic ittle bungalow on a sloping site has become a four bed live-work space on three levels that is beginning to feel more like our home

Please can anyone suggest the best method to deep clean, what I think, are porcelain floor tiles? They have a textured finish and ad we live beside a beach, dirt, dust and sand easily lodge and make the tiles look constantly grubby and generally filthy. I have tried conventional mops, scrubbing on my hands and knees which isn't ideal! Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated!
