There are very few things that are closer to our hearts than the houses that we live in. And there are even fewer things that we take a greater interest in than the homes which we personally own. The actual size of the house does not matter really. It is our personal little castle on this earth.
It is really hard for us to create a house which mirrors or reflects the personality and traits of its owner where it is consistent to all of its parts and faithful to its chosen style or character and also containing over all the elements of a good design. It is no astonishment that in these fast paced days, when our time is filled with so many interests, we sometimes feel like strangers in our own homes.
In a larger home we are more likely to draw our inspiration for its design from widely removed fields and we bring into them the accumulated art forms of the distant past to finally create a grand home rich in story and culture. Also, a spirit of pride and emulation is often designed into the antiquity of a larger home.
Quite too often though, this motive to physique the super rhetorical home demonstrates its self like the construction of a fort that separates us from our ideals and the things which we actually wanted to accomplish. Our motives were to physique something beautiful and rhetorical but we twine up creating something large and gaudy.
