      Would LOVE to own a home/chalet in Whistler, come for winter fun trips.

        Found a couple more new ones. These would be even more feasible than the last one I posted, although still big.

        Search our collection of 30k+ house plans by over 200 designers and architects to find the perfect home plan to build. All house plans can be modified.

          Notice how this previous house above has similar features to the last house I posted. Kind of a "little brother", taking out a few rooms, features like the porch-thingy, etc.

          Here's another one:

            Hi guys

            I would simply start with the Golden Trapagon.

                Got distracted, started looking at more house plans. Found another one, this one even more feasible than the others. 2698 finished sq ft, but the basement would be able to add another 1200 sq ft or so. It's amazing what they do with "only" 2698 sq ft here, each bedroom with a private bath, walk-in closet, etc. HUGE library/sitting area for master suite with morning kitchen area, etc. Just awesome for a "farmhouse" style.

                  Hi Chris

                  This is a link to the golden trapagon:

                  Cardas produces a variety of products specifically for turntables, including our Myrtle Heart Cartridge, DIN plugs, cartridge clips, tonearm wire, and headshell leads. And of course our famous Frequency Sweep & Burn-in LP.


                  This would be my main HT and listening room.

                    Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, the golden room ratio! Gotcha.

                    Very interesting! I actually didn't know about the concept of the Golden Trapagon, I only knew of the room ratios for a rectangular room. I wonder what the mathematics are for the trapagon.

                    I also didn't know that the front and back walls in the proper ratio design become "Golden rectangles". Now that IS a very interesting concept in mathematics, so that fascinates me that the ratios produce this effect.

                    Very, very interesting. Thanks so much for posting!

                      That is very interesting... Wonder how hard it would be to build that into a basement for a theater.

                        Yes, it certainly would take some engineering. The simplest way to do it would be to have the floor flat and level, and then have the side walls and roof all slope in towards the front wall. I don't know, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be excessively hard to do. It seems to make that design perfect, though, you would have to have the floor slope up an equal amount that the ceiling sloped down. As far as a design for the room, though, that wouldn't really be all that great, having a slope to your floor.

                          It's taken over 6 months, but after a few more sheets of drywall go up in my new detached garage behind the house, the next item on the list of renos for the house I bought last June is the dedicated theater room. It presents a bit of a challenge in what I want to accomplish.

                          I have been inspired. I recently married my girlfriend of 5 years and bought a house. The home was a model, so the garage is insolated, as well as heat and cooled.

                          As soon as we get done working on the bathrooms, We will begin converting our garage into a theater room. It will have one...

                          Since the center channel project did not start this fall while Steve Manning is getting SMJ fully operational I decided to install a door to close off the theater room. I didn't want just any type of door for this room, I wanted something that could hold Blu ray cases and make it look like there was...
