    That must be somewhere very hot with no winter / storm season. If this existed where I live then certain times of the year you would be surfing more than channels from your living room sofa.

    Locally we call this sort of thing a McMansion. A fancy house built in a tract (or small plot of land) that is trying to be a rich people home but they didn't quite have the money for a rich people home. (Though I'm sure this place cost a lot more than my place)

    I see me in this. Everything at right angles, plants evenly spaced and so on. This is not my favorite house in this thread but it's a good example of why I shouldn't be the one designing them.

    This one is probably quite nice from the inside. Appears to be right on beach so that rooftop patio likely has a wonderful view. The open part of the second floor appears to have a track so I'm guessing it has a large window/slider wall that closes in the bad weather - and still gives a wonderful view to sit and have a cup of tea. Actually, I'm realizing the bottom opens/closes as well. Must get some wonderful breezes in warm weather with everything opened up.

    they appear to be growing pine trees on their patio. And they are overcrowded even if they were not in a patio planter box.
