Home is more than a place for my stuff

I desire to have a home that is more than just a place for my stuff. That mean, I don't want that much stuff. I want it to be an open unencumbered space to gather with friends and family, enjoy good food and wine, and good times. The accumulation of stuff is antithetical to having a single house. The house should be a base to explore the world and a respite from work and play. I strive for a minimal, yet well appointed residence. The house has places and spaces for everything and everybody, but wants to be seen as an organism in daily life, changing and growing with the family. It is a place to be, enjoy the space and the simple element of time in a great space.
