So the light is ok with the neighbors That’s good to know. I always feel lucky when I live near beautiful architecture too. And sort of down when I don’t – like right now – hence I’m moving. I think Ryan is gifted too, his lines are great – I bet we see more from him in the future. Thanks for chiming in happy neighbor.

As a resident of the neighborhood, I wnat to put in my two cents. The night view is stunning! I love it. The day view is also very appealing. This structure lifts my soul and reminds me that there is beauty in the world. I am thrilled that he built on our block. If I had any money to speak of I would beg him to design a house for me. Ryan Thewes is supremely gifted.

Joe, funny you “let” him win huh, now, why would you do that…

We talk about that a lot here – mistakes with planning, what it can cost you, etc. It’s fine to have beautiful plans, if you can’t pull it off smartly though, well, it’s a problem. So, did you design the mod subdivision homes in the link? I like them. I especially like their size – how they build up. Nice work to whomever did plan them.

Thanks for stopping by

Even though I let Ryan win at poker last night, the article is still impressive. Yes, the addition does speak for itself, but more important is the cost associated with its construction. Good design should be responsible building cost and I think this is both.
