Design your dream house!

[The Mad Monk]

A relatively modest house, two floors, two (or more) car garage and a finished basement with a shop area under the garage. Also an attic and a widow's walk on the roof, with a post suitable for mounting a telscope in the 16" range.

It needen't be on a hill, but should have a clear shot to the horizon on all sides, and be in a reasonably low-light area.

Few trees, small formal garden with a koi pond.

No fancy cars? No cool gadgets? how boring.

[monolith94]

You people are so boring. Stone towers are the way to go, with trap doors and mysterious hidden rooms, with four post beds.

...and, of course, my super-secret lab in the sub-basement, where I feverishly work on my latest scheme for world domination.

It'd probably be the house I live in while at uni, but with a Mega-Giga-Hyper-Death-Ray attached so that I can destroy Exeter whenever I please.

Was out drinking with some Exeter Uni people last night...

My maths teacher has a bumper sticker in the style of a Carlsberg advert. It says:
Exeter: Probably the best university in the world

It always makes me laugh.

[Paul Hanson]

Well, I have nothing against them. At least, I don't think I do.

My perfect house will be really really wide and really really tall and filled with cool stuff. I'll have a big kitchen with 61 cooks who have funny cook hats and big moustaches and say "Mamma mia" and make me whatever I want every day and ice cream with it. It's going to have a waterslide that's the tallest waterslide in the world and end in a big blue pond with swans and mermaids in it. I'm going to have a helicopter and a tank and an ocean liner and I'm gonna ride them every day.

I'll have a computer which is super-fast and has every game in the world and I'm gonna have the biggest TV in the world and it's gonna show every channel even including the porn channels. I'll also have a huge bathtub with 14 nublie nulbie nublei young maidens and they'll give me sponge baths and something I'm not quite sure of. I'll have a big fluffy bouncy bed and I'll be able to bounce in it even when someone's looking and wrestle with my maidens.

I'll have a huge cabin of cool-ass guns and explosives and I'll shoot them off every day and laugh. And my house will be guarded by ninjas and if some crooks or thieves come close my ninjas will totally flip off and kill them all while shouting "HARAKIRIIIII!" or something equally cool. Oh! Oh! And I'll have a big vault of money like Uncle Scrooge has and I'll roll around in my money every day! I'll also totally have all sorts of cool staircases and sekrit doors and stuff that makes it look mysterious and stuff.

And I'll have spires and helicopter ramps and an airport next to my garage space shuttle launching pad next to my garage. And I'll have a zoo with lions and tigers and zebras and lions and giraffes and koalas and kangaroos and lions and panthers and ostriches and hippopopopopotamuses and unicorns. And I'll have monkey butlers and they'll serve my every whim and every night as I go to sleep they'll tell me jungle stories.

Sweet.

How many times can you destroy Exeter?

I am not picky. I can't stand gardening so some nice penthouse with plenty of space that is sufficient for me without seeming too empty...and a T3 A nice lofty view as well, over the pyramids or New York skyline or something pleasant like that...

Hey, I remember seeing this car in Oxford that had one of those stickers which always seemed to be parked in the same place (Broad Street)...

As a second country-estate home to compliment my penthouse appartment in Stockholm you mean?

Um, I'm a big fan of railway stations, of the kind of vastness they represent. I like to be able to see really far ahead and still see a wall... So what I'd like is for the house to be dominated by one giganormous room stretching over two or three floors (each about 1.5 normal floors in height), and throughout the width of the building. It'd be south-facing and have one huge, concave glass wall letting in light. It could possibly have a suspended, art-gallery-style floor in the middle allowing it to be in effect two rooms... I haven't decided yet.

Have you ever been to the D'Orsay museum?

My dream house would be a cube. 120 feet to a side. The rooms would have fixed positions but every night the hallways would shift. My sleeping room would be filled to the ceiling with pillows.
