Under 4 picture is about all around my house .[ex- see Hong Kong @ back & font & right & left ]







==** This time, I designed this house by Matthew Ka-Wai Yam. It cost quite a lot to build this house, because this house is quite big and fancy.=) This house had one toilet, two bathroom, 3 bedroom,**== ==**This house's walls is glass, so inside and outside you can see more glass more than normally. And the glass is big. It is because the sun light can come in the house more, then you don't need to use too much light and don't need to cost too much on the light. On the other hand, this house is designed by the ocean or beach, so that you can see beautiful view with big glass![ex -see Mr.Hong Kong @ cool ]**==

 * And this house designed for people who love party, or big family. We have swimming pool, gym, little cinema, pool table, ping pong table and hot tub. You can have fun with your whole family or your friends all day long in this house .**











=Here we go! Kitchen part=



Families come in various shapes and sizes, but the one constant in many homes is that everyone in the family is busy. I designed the kitchen tol be simple, but In the kitchen, it's often about making the most out of what little time you have to cook. Luckily appliances are getting faster and smarter to help you maximize your time. The refrigerator and oven seem to be the main beneficiaries of these technological advances, although products that store and make beverages have also received some help as well. ( We won't put too much money on design, but we will put more money to the appliances!)

=The master bedroom=





If your boudoir could use a boost, find some inspiration here and create your own romantic retreat — whether you dream of a lavish suite or prefer beautiful on a budget.

=The master bathroom=



Outside the master bedroom, I designed a pond, and you can see that I designed having a diving board outside the deck[from the picture "jump"]. you can enjoy a nice and quiet weekend afternoon, sit outside the master bedroom and play with some fish. Children can jump off the diving board to the swimming pool. I think most kids would like it.



In the living room, we have a very nice long table and you can see that I designed a big glass window,so when you are eating supper, you can enjoy nice views of the outside and i designed the fire place close to the table.

Overall, This house designed by Hong Kong guy, It's a big and fun house. But it will cost a lot at the beginning, but this house will save a lot of money in the future.In my house , it's quite big, so we will spend a lot of money on heating and cooling. I designed geothermal heating under the ground. It will be kept for a long time. It's hard to clean and paint, but I will use vinyl siding in my construction. On the other side, I designed a very steep roof, so the snow will come off in the winter. Because it's a 2 story house, I designed the first floor to feel comfortable for people with disabilities. Just like bathroom & toilet. it doesn't matter how many at your house, just have fun.
