my imaginary vacation house

[coldcomfort]

Hello there. I watch this section from time to time, so I thought I should post my own (dream) project also.
This is pretty much as far as I go about "interior design", the few furniture pieces are mostly used as references/for scale. Also, my PC is getting old, so taking pictures is annoyingly time consuming (but sometimes well worth it).

The first level is supposed to be half buried in the slope of a hill, with the terrace facing towards the valley

The layout is based on an octagon with 3 sides squared off, basically on 3 levels:
-underground;

-main level;

- upper level (mansard); an open bedroom leading to a balcony.

BTW, why do wall spotlights always have that "pixelated crown" close to the source of the light?
