this design of Skylark's got me to thinkin'..... I love how the west edge just combines with the surroundings, so that the house appears to just be part of the landscape and not plunked down on top of it.... wouldn't it be great to have grass foundation walls so that this would happen on all edges? course, there'd be that problem of the front steps, but then maybe they would appear to be simply going up a slight incline to the house
