A play house
My ideal house would have huge windows surrounded by walls that concealed cupboards, closets and hideaways of all sorts.
In fact, some of those walls would be portable if I had my way. Large storage areas on big heavy wheels so that I could have an enormous living room one day and an enormous bedroom the next. Only the plumbing and electrical outlets would be finite. There would be hidden electrical hookups that those movable walls could connect with so I would have the illusion of wall outlets
The necessary kitchen pieces would be hidden behind sliding doors, but flush against one wall. Counters, islands, tables, anything else would be portable. Bathrooms would be tucked into two diagonal corners and of course the walls would have to be very thick to accommodate the storage, which would also make them part of the insulation. Large pieces of furniture, like beds or sofas would have lockable coasters on them.
From the outside it would appear to be a normal, square house with a garage, but that garage would have a ramp into the house to make moving anything in and out simple.
The inside would always be in a state of creative flux. It might be plush and Moroccan one day and minimalist the next, but it could never exceed the storage in the walls, so there would always be a comfy cozy simplicity to it.
It would be a playhouse for real living.
