One of my longstanding dreams has been to live in a warehouse or an old church. I’ve been spamming loopnet and a dozen other sites with searches for the prized unconventional living spot at a responsible price, but no luck yet. Bottom line: having a cool living space matters very much. There is a lot of creativity that goes into designing such spaces, and I believe that (once you deal with the inevitable bug drama) it could be a very good look for me as a person seeking creative flow.
Oh, and it is crazy cool. I’m talking hoop in the house kind of cool. What I truly envision is building out a school with live-in property on the campus, allowing me to engage in my business (said school) 24/7 and be able to interact with the students and staff in a way that reflects the family values nature of the facility. In fact, it could go so far as being a live-in facility itself–an academy in the vein of Charles Xavier… Okay I am getting quite carried away, but I think the discussion about building a school and living on that property has legs.
Then again, maybe I just want the property all to myself and my devious plans…
