� The spacious main room, from the dining area towards the parlor area. High beamed ceilings, copious natural light, and potted trees give the room a sense of being half indoors, half outdoors. The ceiling archway and high platforms create a more interesting line and support displays of art as well as speakers.	� View from the parlor area towards the kitchen. In addition to the windows at the right and windows behind the photographer (seen in the previous photo), there are two pair of large sliding glass doors and a skylight providing light to this room. Notice the lightswitch on the horizontal window in the center left has thirteen switches. Lightswitches and door levers throughout the house are placed lower than usual. They lie at the level of a hand hanging at one's side. (Which is more efficient than having to lift one's hand to flip a switch or open a door.)
� Another view within the main living area. To the left is a loft overlooking the main room, below it one can see the opening to the main entranceway and above it the opening to the upstairs hall. These four visible levels of the house make a wonderful interior view.	� The main living room from the upstairs hall. The heavy hardwood floors give the room stength. On the left is one of the pairs of sliding glass doors that open onto the balcony. The hall behind the photographer includes a window which provides easy access to one level of the flat roof.
� Pots and pans hanging from the ceiling works well in the kitchen. They compliment the many pieces of ironwork such as the large, flowering light in the center of this photo. Along the left edge of this photo one can see a glass chimney. There are three such chimneys in the main room which reduces the noise from and in the swimming pool directly below. The oven crook at the right has built in spice racks.	� Sliding glass doors lead to the balcony off the master bedroom.
� One of the large artworks in the house, a fountain from France.	� There are many arched doorways and halls in the house and several beautiful arched wooden doors. Notice the fine ironwork on the door and the stone floor which covers roughly half the house.
� Even guest rooms are not standard. This one has an angled multi-leveled ceiling and a small kitchen in its closet.	� This guest room has large, east facing windows and an even larger window in its corner.
� Carolyn makes the library her home office. It is a hexagonal room that, apart from its large windows, is wood from floor, to walls, to partial ceiling. There is a hexagonal catwalk a floor above which gives a thinking mind room to expand.	� Eric looks down from the library catwalk. Again, note the ironwork that makes up the railing. Just beyond Eric lies the spiral staircase.
� Looking down from the foot of the spiral staircase into the library. The doors in the center on the second floor lead to a storage room and "hidden" passageway to the loft.	� The spiral staircase leads to a steeple room. Notice the five sided door.
