I'm in grad school for oceanography.

My home is going to be a quiet, empty place for me. But it will be welcome to those who wish to visit.

The front should have a large porch. It will stretch the front of the house and be deep. Deep enough to be like another room. It will be a place for people to be at a party. There can be a swing on one side of the porch, and three or four chairs around a table on the other. The railing around it will actually be a stone wall. Four stone columns will support the roof, two on the corners of the roof and two columns that frame the door as viewed from the street.

The interior of the home will be open. Most walls will only be half-height, fulfilling a mind's need for definition and boundry, but the half-height will provide a sense of spaciousness, since a person will be able to look from wall-to-wall of the home with long views of the decor.

The patio off the kitchen will also be large, a place for people to dance at weddings. It will not be grey concrete, but some kind of stone, sandstone; the dusty southwest red patio contrasting with the green grass. A pond and its fountain provide white noise to assist napping and whispering lovers.
