Today for our Home Decor Thoughts segment, we're veering off course, just a bit.  Instead of focusing strictly on interior design (or garden spaces) we're looking at architecture.

I found this video, made by an architecture firm in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I was intrigued from the start since I lived in Albuquerque for several years.

In the video, architect Eric Spurlock talks about designing a custom home for a client.  He begins with a lovely thought on the meaning of a home:  A home is not merely a shelter, but the essence of our personalities.  Well said.  Even when a home is not the owner's "dream house," you can still learn a lot about the person who lives there just by being in the space and observing.

Now, let me say upfront - the homes shown in the video are grand, luxe spaces.  There's nothing small or "not so big" about them.  But despite their size, there's good information for home buyers and potential architecture clients.  After all, if you've never thought about site design on a lot before, you will after watching this video.
