A first look at our new home!

We have been trying to build our dream home in Wisconsin for a few years now.  We've always wanted something modern but also important to us is that we have a unique site to build it on.  Our first site next to a dam/waterfall at the Merrillan mill failed (long, complicated story) and since then we purchased a beautiful 14 acre wooded plot with an amazing sandstone cliff overlooking a river valley to the east.  Last month we met with and hired Jim Gempeler, an architect from GMK Architecture

to design our home.  Here is an early first look at the design that he sent to us.  Very cool and exciting!  We have been posting all the details of our experiences in trying to build both projects over at our other site OurModernHome.com so if you are interested, go check out the details there.
