Architectural appeal IS an important part of building science.

Our buildings should please us. Sometimes they should inspire, sometimes calm; but if we don't care about them we won't care for them.
Have you ever lived in a building that you loved to arrive at? A place that made you proud to call home, that felt like it wanted you to be there?
I hope you live there now. If not, what do you think would get you to feel that way about the place you live now?
I need a good garden space, some wildlife in my yard and a good window to see the yard from while I'm having my morning cup (on days it's too chilly to have it outside). My inside list includes a workable kitchen space, a place to read and good daylight. My neighbors figure into the equation too, but that is getting a little away from the buildings aspect. Or is it?

What would your list look like? Is the focus inside or out? Leave a comment, I'd love to hear what you think.
