The Plan, Cantilevered home ?

After the heart break of realizing we had to abandon our idea of an earth sheltered home and think and do like normal people, we resigned ourselves to finding a great design . 

We spent a lot of time at the library looking at books about architecture and trying to figure out what we liked. It was awesome a great array of so many choices, we just had one problem we had to agree.  We looked at some pretty weird and cool houses and would love to do something really eco friendly and modern. We homed in on cantilevered houses, that looked a bit like these .

We started off with some sketches and ideas and over a nice vegetarian meal with Curlew designs. They presented us with a few designs and the one we chose was similar to the one below. After some tweaking and a lot of advice from Paul Racine ( Mr Worry )  it became the design we finalized on.
