My wife is wanting to build a bugalow with more of an 'asian' flair.. Exposed timbers etc.. The plan in the next 2 years is to buy 15 acres.. build a saw mill, woodshop, and finally the home.. But, just have not found a design style with the right touch.. anyone have some pics with an asian twist?

Thanks..


Rob

i dont have any images on hand, but have seen some published.

i think "the Bungalow" by Paul Duchscherer has examples of various bungalow styles, and asian is one of those.

also try "bungalow nation" by madden.

check out my house, it has asian, spanish, and other influences we figure the architect couldn't make up his mind. http://picasaweb.google.com/george.venturino/OurBungalow

Good Morning George,
Your interior with the beams and around the perimeter of the room is similar to the ones I installed in my kitchen and dining area some 20 years ago and, they are still intact and give the room a pleasing appearance. Several folks have commented on them and one even had me duplicate the style in his home.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

The firplace and porch pillars are amazing! Will you share your general location with us? I'm interested in where you think the rocks originated.

we're in salt lake city, the round river rock could have come from as close as the gully behind the house where a creek runs or from one of several canyons close by. the rectangular ones are clinker brick but in a greenish yellow hue I've never seen. also they are very smooth. any body have an idea of what the "good" bricks might have been? Thanks for your comments, we too love our "peanut brittle" porch
