    That must be somewhere very hot with no winter / storm season. If this existed where I live then certain times of the year you would be surfing more than channels from your living room sofa.

    Locally we call this sort of thing a McMansion. A fancy house built in a tract (or small plot of land) that is trying to be a rich people home but they didn't quite have the money for a rich people home. (Though I'm sure this place cost a lot more than my place)

    I see me in this. Everything at right angles, plants evenly spaced and so on. This is not my favorite house in this thread but it's a good example of why I shouldn't be the one designing them.

    This one is probably quite nice from the inside. Appears to be right on beach so that rooftop patio likely has a wonderful view. The open part of the second floor appears to have a track so I'm guessing it has a large window/slider wall that closes in the bad weather - and still gives a wonderful view to sit and have a cup of tea. Actually, I'm realizing the bottom opens/closes as well. Must get some wonderful breezes in warm weather with everything opened up.

    It's wonderfully symmetrical! I think the yard would look prettier if all of the bushes were replaced with flowers. I like flowers.

    they appear to be growing pine trees on their patio. And they are overcrowded even if they were not in a patio planter box.

    Embrace the rain? Those ferns suggest a fair bit of shade / dampness. I have those in my woods. Patio under a permanent roof suggests sitting there watching rain come down.
