This is the house of Mr. C. Harge. It is situated in a remote location overlooking the city. The Hillside on which the house sits is luscious green grass. The house has been a project for Carl forever evolving into an even more amazing residence. The house reflects Carl’s power, being a prosecutor. His house overlooks the whole city so not a second goes by without vision of what is going on around him.

Carl’s house has many rooms which are evident in the design. The modern style makes it a unique home in this part of the country side.

Although the house boasts big rooms; the kitchen is yet to be renovated. It is very small with minimal bench space. This is Carl’s next project when he finds the time to get around to it. Carl plans on extending the kitchen so that it can have more storage and an island bench where food can be prepared.

The rest of the house is pretty well completed, with the tower stair case a real feature of the house. This tower has many windows which allow ample natural light to filter into the house. It also has beautiful views of the city from the stairwell tower.

Carl designed the house with one room which is completely empty. This is where he can sit and reflect on life and relieve the stresses as he overlooks the city through the large fenestration, which looks out the front of the house. In this room there is a circular mirror where the habitant can look into this mirror and have nothing but themselves to focus on. This helps with reflecting on ourselves and where we currently stand in life.

The study is situated on the ground level away from all interruptions. The study has views of the luscious green fields which surround the house. These pleasant views help focus the mind.

The bathroom is simple in its design, housing a bathtub, toilet shower and bath sink. The bathroom is situated on the upper level next to the master bedroom. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house on the upper level directly above the study. The bedroom has a floor level king size bed with a leather chair in the corner of the bedroom.

The dining table has views out of the front windows of the house. The window has an unusual shape to allow light to filter along the walls of the space and not directly into the centre of the room where the dining table is sitting.

The lower level of the house in outdoor entertaining area with storage units build into the house. Carl has future plans of building out and creating a bigger footprint for the house.

As his kids grow older he may build more entertaining rooms and also had thought of adding a pool in the future.
