Student Client: Brian - written description of house design

I'd like a house made for fun. No extra fancy features.

I'll give you a walk through tour. First you drive down the driveway which is very long, since the yard is so big. When you get out of the car you walk through a tropical garden with a miny waterfall and a great smell. After the beautiful garden you get to the front door. The doors are really cool wierd maskes. When you walk through the door you walk into a foyer. In the foyer there is a desert habitat that is in a glass dome. It would have many animals. There are two different arches that you can go through. Lets go through the righ one. This room is the living room.

Student Client: Ian - written description of house design

For my dreamhouse, I would like my house to be a submarine. It won't be a war sub, but it will be armed with one balistic missle and one laser bank. I would like to have a plexi-glass elevator. I would also like my dining room to have big circles in the wall which can open up. A light will switch on and I can see for miles. In the middle of the sub I would like to have a mini fountain. Near the end I would like to have a fencing room and I want to have a lock-in place where I store a set sub that I can take people on a tour of the ocean for free. I want three large bedrooms and 2 galleys. In the back is the engine room. This is a nuclear sub. I want a regular bathroom and two propellors. I want a couch room where I can order any days of comics. You get around on go carts and it has a control room and a large green house, it also has a swimming pool.
