I Bjorn, I thought about becoming an architect in my teens. I looked a little bit into it. I can see your point. I have a wide variety of tastes from the old to the new. One of the biggest problems I have is making decisions on what I want because I like alot of things...lol.
thats the reason its hard for Architects to design their own homes... 1) they want to show clients what they can do...which taste to go with? 2)when you are an Architect , you see soooo much neat stuff, others designs ,yours , but to get it all in...impossible...and hard to choose...lol
