A house is more than just a shelter; that it is a way of improving your way of life.
At one point in my practice, of the 10 largest home builders in the United States, seven of the 10 were my clients.
I have had built, from my designs, over 40,000 living units, and that's more than any other architect that I know of.
One by one, I could find a house that somebody had restored properly, and then another one, and now it's like a virus. Everybody in Palm Springs wants to do it.
