It would seem I am coming down with the flu, or I would continue
through the next 10 ideas. I am bursting with them. Then again I may
just be giddy with the fever, who knows.
Perhaps if I can't sleep, and if you think these are acceptable I will
add 10 more. Some of them are a little outlandish, but then again so
am I. I assumed money is no concern, I hope I was right.
1. Gigantic skylights for fantastic night views and storm watching:

2. A Single fireplace which is shared by four rooms.
Imagine a room 40ft by 40ft break that room into 4 sections each room
now being 10ft by 10 ft (keep in mind we are talking about a warehouse
so it can be
400ft and each room is 100ft)The central point of this room, like four
corners in the United States, would be a large stone fireplace four
pillars and an
open hearth. So each room has a fireplace.
The source of this is a ski cabin I stayed in, the fireplace was two
sided, one side opening into the kitchen, and the other opening into
the den on the
other side of the wall.
3. In a similar theme, a fishtank corner. A fishtank sharing a corner
of two or four rooms would provide each room with a fantastic view of
the tank. A
central aquarium tank is also a fantastic thought.
The source of this is my fascination with fish tanks.

4. Your own personal Movie Theater
Again, this is right out of my personal dreams, but imagine if you
will a 20 ft screen on which you watch your own movies, with a huge
surround sound system,
and instead of the quality theater style seating found at
marketware-tech.com, you put in big fluffy soft couches, and lounge
chairs and huge pillows. A
popcorn popper and video display system are clearly not out of our
price range considering the expense of the several hundred gallon salt
water fishtank, and
the 15 foot long sky lights. By the way, this room would have no
windows, movies are meant to be watched in the dark.

5. Collapsable walls/liftable walls. Depending on ceiling height, you
could enclose areas in a similar fashion to hotels, or broadway set
designs. Walls
could either come apart in three foot section and slide over to a side
wall for storage to open several small rooms into one large room, or
lift directly up
to all a larger space for entertaining, while maintaining a nice
warmer enclosed space for private time.

6. Since there will probably be more vertical space then hoprizontal,
space saving ideas would be next on the list. Starting with, each room
has a loft bed.
A small staircase in each bedroom leads up to a bed which overlooks
the room. Leaving a large area underneath for desk units or computer
station.
7. While we are on the subject of space saving, law office style
storage closets. If you have ever been in a law office, they have
rolling bookcases to
conserve space. Each shelf rolls back and forth until it meets with
the shelves to the left or right. Clothing storage could be done in
much the same
fashion.

8. A nice big hot tub and sauna in an enclosed wood and glass room.
Indoors for year round use.
9. Mandatory to run cat 5 in a newly built house these days, so the
computers can just be plugged in anywhere. Local hubs in high traffic
rooms for lan
parties, or guests with laptops. Perhaps a WiFi instead. Wireless
internet connection throughout the house.
10. Something I remember from a few years ago, always thought it was
the coolest idea anyone ever came up with.
No more draggin the vacuum around with you all over the house, simply
plug the hose into the wall outlet and go. No exhaust from the vacuum,
no dust flying
in the air as you go.
