Everyone knows square turrets are the way to go. If you're going to pour boiling lead on someone stealing your tv, at least have a turret that properly defends your flanks as you dump the liquid.

Also, arrowslits are the way to go if you want take castle doctrine literally.

And leave myself vulnerable to corner chipping if the thieves bring a trebuchet? No thank you.

Setting up a trebuchet is against HOA rules.

Just checked my HOA covenants. Firstly, I must get a permit approved at a once a month meeting for any permanent structure. Hopefully there aren't any sieges in April. Secondly, if I use my neighbors fence posts in the creation of the structure, the fence posts must remain unpainted with nothing else hanging on them (no decorative baskets). Finally, if I put either a flag or a solar panel on the trebuchet, the HOA can't do jack about my trebuchet.

Say what you will, but I think the painting of the lynched little girls really ties the place together. Think it conveys?

Why have the mirrors in the bedroom? They wouldn't be able to see themselves.

3+ million dollars for some amazing design/finish choices (and a turret of course)

www.519threecorners.com


let's count how many architectural styles are being jammed together in this amalgamation

wait...where do these go?....

ahhhh! who doesn't want stairs leading up to a useless loft in your master?

Lilac everywhere!

nice of them to use granddad's urn for the powder room focal point

pro tip: when all else fails, use your extra serving bowls to elevate your breakfast bar


because the kitchen truly is the "heart" of the home

when backsplash design is inspired by cartoon thought bubbles

3 hot tubs are nice when you invite shy folks to your neighborhood Swinger's Party


just a brilliant use of space here in the game room. love the balance!

your shy swinger buddies will love this frosted shower for their after-party cleanup!

pool table inspired paint and stain just exudes class!

Junior will love this mirrored room with sandpaper flooring. Throw in some Ramstein on the surround sound speakers and it's perfect for hazing your new crop of pledges!

At Langford, we called this this design cue the "Mediterranean Mullet". Business at the bottom....party up top!


the designers sense of space and proportion shines once again!

Grandma would be slightly pissed to note she was relegated to this ****ty outdoor kitchen

when you've got three hot tubs (plus whatever that fourth thing is), there is absolutely no need to clean your pool...just sayin


The maids quarters feature a unique "outside in" design,

I gotta be honest here...we just threw in this shot of an unpermitted carport in Oak Forest to see if anyone was paying attention. Anyway....Schedule your private appointment today!

Post of the Year.
We're going to be buying or building (haven't decided yet) in the near future. Will inexplicably laugh every time I see a ceiling feature, no matter how extravagant.

Also, I'm no architect, but I think there are some problems with the scale of this overhang and the brackets "supporting" it.

That's clear. Even if merely decorative, the scale of architectural details need to make sense relative to other, related architectural details.

It's like a grand Greek revival home with 4 columns or front so skinny they look like broom handles. Scale matters.
