For me, it was this whole blurring of the nature and the indoors and outdoors kind of blur, which he really focused on in terms of putting a lot of windows in and making nature you know come inside and i found that to be truly wonderful i i love when when i can see outside and and i can watch the time of day as it changes i love sitting there at night in the evening and watching i loved waking up in the morning and seeing a deer go across the yard i you know just having that that whole nature element to me was was truly wonderful and that's really something that that he is known for that's a definite characteristic But one of the places that you really can see several of his homes and actually stay in one or two of them is Polymath Park.
