Dream House Materials

Dream of the Week: Dream House Materials

Quick Setup: I’m obsessed with the idea of building a modern, glass home that focuses on a stunning pool and the interplay of water and materials as a primary focal point of the property. I’ll get there someday! I loved that this dream showed up for me. ✨

I’m walking around an office space that is split up by teams. It’s early in the afternoon, and I notice that the lights are off to let the natural light fill the room. I wander around the office aimlessly before making my way back to my desk.

I pass by a manager with whom I am somewhat acquainted. She is looking over a special booklet of materials and renderings of the house she is building with her architect. I ask her about the booklet, and she eagerly shows me the most recent renders she’s been given. We look at beautiful, light beige material samples that will be used as decorative paneling outside the home. She explains that the material is made of recycled flooring, processed down and recreated into thin, textured panels that are also extremely energy efficient. I’m incredibly impressed.

She continues to flip through the booklet, highlighting her favorite renders focused on the interplay of water, light, and interiors with incredible pool placement. I’m blown away and tell her that I’ve never met anyone else who has been as focused on pools and water in the same way that I am.

She shows me two of her absolute favorite drawings. One of a rounded bedroom, framed by glass with a pool curved against the outside glass. The second, a square indoor/outdoor pool with a tree enclosed in glass natural light atrium in the center. I absolutely love the things that she is exploring, and I am so excited to see what she ends up doing. I wake up.
