		<title>Small Beach House in Mexico Breaking Ground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve recently broken ground on a small beach house in Mexico.  The home is organic in nature and designed for outdoor living, as well as situated to bring in the ocean breezes.  Located above the Pacific coast between Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco, this hillside beach house is about 30 miles (48 km) SE of Zihuatanejo [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stone Cladding Options</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stone has been used throughout history on buildings of many styles as a cladding material.  Until relatively recent times it was used for structural applications in foundations and wall construction. In modern construction, stone is used primarily as a cladding option to cover less attractive structural substrates. Stacked stone isn't a good structural material.  It can support a lot of weight, but because it is difficult to reinforce with steel, it is notoriously bad at surviving earthquake events, and doesn't meet the strict requirements architects must meet in modern building codes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Spadena House in Beverly Hills,  California is one of the most recognizable homes of Storybook style architecture.

		<title>Southern California Storybook Style Architecture: Hollywoodland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Storybook Style surged in popularity after Hollywoodland, a subdivision of cottage homes, was built in 1923.  The theatrically designed homes served as residences in Los Angeles for a number of movie stars and received nationwide media attention as America’s first themed residential community.  The Hollywood sign actually used to say Hollywoodland and was built to promote the neighborhood, which housed such notables as Bela Lugosi and Humphrey Bogart.  ]]></description>

		<title>Fireplace Options</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Masonry Fireplaces - The most traditional (and most expensive), this is the choice for those seeking authenticity and a powerful presence. Masonry fireplaces have a high thermal mass, which works well to radiate heat when it is kept warm, but can have the opposite effect when it is cold. Open face fireplaces also lose most of the heat they produce up the chimney, and in some cases they draw warm air out of the room and send it up the chimney as well. ]]></description>

		<title>Storybook Cabin Plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This storybook cabin looks more like storybook cottage meets hobbit house meets Swiss chalet.  Nevertheless, this quaint, whimsical cabin could fit in just as easily in a city such as Seattle or Portland as it would in the New Zealand countryside or the Cascade Mountains. This 850 square foot architect designed cabin is built for comfort and includes a large great room with open picturesque trusses and beams set amidst the curved roofs.  The home is loosely based off the playful Storybook Style from English and French medieval farmhouse design. ]]></description>
