A window, a door and a garage sticking out
My family has a saying that my children made up during the times we've house hunted. In Wichita for some reason the standard ranch style home has overtaken all other forms of residential architecture. This style of home in our family is now know as "A windows, a door & a garage sticking out". This over-run of architecture style has made it very difficult for Carrie & I to choose a new home community. We both have our unique ideas of what our new home should look like. She's drawn to a traditional four-square type of home. Those with a large front porch. Whereas I've become a fan of modern style dwellings. So much so, that I recently subscribed to Dwell magazine. I've yet to convince the wife that this is the design style we should be working towards. Even if I did, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in Wichita we could build such a home. I'm considering attending the Wichita Area Home Builders seminar for new home builders. I can't wait to pose the question, "Why only build ranch style homes that look so much alike?".

Dwell is a pretty cool mag...I'd love to see something like that second picture in Wichita. Spice things up a little. :-)
