This one has an interesting blend of more contemporary and modern styling. Unfortunately the photography is not very good, and it's hard to get a good sense of some elements. Note the windows and porch on one side. The clerestory windows are nice. I'm not really sure what's going on with the roof, the doubling doesn't appear to have function. I don't particularly like their interior decor, but the space is nice.
This one is very nice inside and out. The attached carport is good, possibly a requirement. It doesn't have a second floor for view, though. It could also do better on the inside/outside transition. The center-V roof is unfortunate, looks good but would trap pine needles etc. and could become a maintenance problem.
This would be better without the corrugated siding.
