I’ve died and gone to design heaven.
Architect Bart Prince dreamt up a fantastical house in Columbus, Ohio, distinguished by dynamic, flowing spaces. The owner describes the home as a place for big kids with, for instance, secret passageways hidden within the masonry walls. A 75-foot-long serpentine pool, lined with mirror-and-glass mosaics, winds its way along the lower level of the house. “The owner wanted a lap pool running through a tropical garden, with palm trees and bananas and views of the sky,” the architect says. “The living spaces are arranged around that.”

I have long held the notion that one day I would be wealthy enough that I could support all of my friends so that they would never have to work, we would all share meals, drink wine and watch sunsets together and it would always be like some eternal perfect day in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley…
