This modern home makes my heart flutter

I just came across this wonderful home in Sebastopol, California, by architects Turnbull Griffin Haesloop. As I looked through the photos, a few of which I've re-posted here, my heart literally raced with excitement. I would love to live in a space that caused that kind of energy. It's the functional open space and natural lighting that really appeals to me. I also love how it blends into the surrounding landscape so beautifully. Surprisingly, the main house is only 1,700 square feet. It appears much larger. If the space is functional and open, who needs anything bigger?!
