That title’s not joking around. This home is one of those top ten dream homes you hear about. Well, it’s one of my top ten dream homes anyhow. Actually if you wanted to create a top ten dream structure list you could just visit the Lundberg Design and be perfectly fine. All the work is […]
If you ever wonder what kind of home an architect strives for here’s one nice simple example. When Eric Fisher, architect designed his own home it turned out to be an experience to say the least. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quotes him as saying, “It was the only time in my life when I couldn’t sleep […]
