Below is a very rough sketchup design of my dream home, which I was thinking of building either on land as shown or over water on a riverfront lot. I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on 1. what style does it appear to you? (despite the fact I already labeled it french-khmer), and 2. do you like it?
So basically I've been to Southeast Asia lot and I really liked the colonial bungalows there (British or French), but I also like the indigenous Thai or Cambodian style stilt house. I thought I'd merge the two here. I'm also a real fan of arched spanish courtyards... so I thought I'd combine 3 stilt houses to get that effect in the house below. I love plants, so in the final design there'd be vines all over the place and tree canopies brushing up against the windows/roof. Exterior is a rough burnt sienna stucco/adobe (like in the california missions).
Inspiration (colonial SE Asia, Thai stilt house, cal mission):
