I love building lots that have a steep grade. They force creativity and open up a whole new range of design options. This duplex sits on a long steep lot that backs to a small stream. They have done a good job of providing privacy and leveraging views the slope provides.

Read MoreThere is a lot of potential with this 60's atomic ranch. It's the kind of house that you could live in just the way it is and be happy, or do a major remodel and make it absolutely amazing. With all that land the outdoor possibilities are limitless too.

Read MoreRounding out the week of architect designed spaces comes this little gem from North Arrow. It was featured on last years Modern Homes Tour and promises to not disappoint. My favorite thing about North Arrows's work is the graphic design influence. You can see it in this project in all the beautiful metal work.

Read MoreAnother great little spec unit from architect Don Harris. This one is actually the smaller unit B of the condo regime, but I think I actually prefer it to the main house. You'll see some similar interior details to the Fontana house I posted two days ago. This is also one of the first spec builds I've noticed that benefit from last years increase from 850 sf to 1,100 sf on accessory units. That extra 250 sf makes such a difference for these smaller houses. Bonus point for all that great outdoor space.

Read MoreHere's a nice little detached condo setup designed by Don Harris. I like the massing and the roof overhangs on the front unit a lot. The good stuff continues on the inside too with some nice materials and plenty of light wood flooring which even finds it's way onto walls and ceilings.

Read MoreJust up the street from yesterdays house at almost half the price is this little guy. Sure it isn't as big and the architecture isn't quite as good but on the plus side it's not a condo and it has some absolutely amazing views. This thing has decks for days...
