I agree with with comments made by "pk", the kitchen and bathroom are too ordinary for such a grandiose residence. The wooden plank walls ruin everything.

Wouldn’t that get kind of annoying after a while?" If you can afford this house, you can afford to send your people to do that for you. On a serious note, I'm glad to see more attention to airflow. I once lived in a house in SoCal that never needed AC because of the way we could leave doors and windows open oriented to the breeze. “doesn’t it take forever to drive up and down the hill every time you want to go somewhere?

On a somehwat related note...I'm always surprised that people live so far up in these hills, doesn't it take forever to drive up and down the hill every time you want to go somewhere? Wouldn't that get kind of annoying after a while? Very nice house.

It can build up dramatically over the years. Still, we love leaving the doors open on a warm night.
