Here is a picture of my nephews home going up in New Mexico. Can’t tell you much more that that. Just interesting is all. He thinks the geodesic design will wick out heat and be less expensive to cool.

Does he plan to have a landing pad nearby, for alien saucers? Decoy green family looking up and waving?
LOL... I don't find his taste in homes to be supprising. He kinda weird.
I'm glad that we have the freedom to build and live in all kinds of structures, including round ones. I much rather have one of those next door than some typical ####.
Then again, how about painting golf ball scale dimples on them, then putting in a driving range out back? But keep the saucer pad and the green decoys too. ;-)

There's already one in Arizona:

LOL.. He is out in the boonies. Each lot there is about 35-45 acres. And they have free ranging cattle roaming around. My nephew said that NM is a free range state and so cattle can just roam around on your property if you live in the country. That place isn't for everyone. I prefer to live in a conventional house. I think you got a good idea about putting dimples on his house like a golf ball. Hit it with a car and it would go farther.

I'm thinking more pragmatically about living spaces and site locations too, the older I get.
But I'm still planning a fairly large three season tree house for an old growth lot I have up in the Catskills.
It just won't include a rope ladder or any swinging vines. Something more on the order of a staircase that lowers out of the floor, like an alien space craft from a low budget 50's movie.

So he decided to build a dome on the range...

Ha ha ha he he he snort...
I see it looks as if he has the walls furred out.
Any idear what he has going on with that?
Beats me. I really ought to call him and get some more details. I do know its only going to have one bedroom. So none of their kids will come and sponge off of them.
Should make an interesting aerial shot from Google Earth. Probably look like breasts. Have to wait and see what he does with the landscaping :)

Take a google look at Milwaukee. Their conservatory (or whatever big fancy greenhouses are called) look like Madonna, only with 3.A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.

I am sure he will do not much in the way of landscaping. Not a lot of water there...However he is about 3-4 miles east of The Rio Grande river. He may use the rocks and outline a female shape so from the air it may look ah er well you know.
Landscaping? Ah, you jest...:)
Cool!
