If you have a chance to design your home,which place will you choose? And how will your choice affect both your design and your life?

Places are: on a sandy sea shore, or a on a sloped mountain, or in a simple countryside, or in a city full of high rising buildings?

If I have the opportunity to design a house anywhere, I would choose a mountain slope full of beautiful plants and trees and overlooking a seashores or rivers.These places are what I hope to live in, because of calm and scenic beauty, and I also love the quiet areas away from the densely populated cities and loud noise.
I'll try to design my home on the way Frank Lloyd Wright, which is the maintaining of the environment and the exploitation of its resources, as in the Villa waterfalls.

I think these is the hardest question i ever been asked! from one hand i love the countryside because i like to live in a quiet area with nature views and i will use a rustic design.
On the other hand i love the city life because of the movement and business and i like the kind of privacy that the flat provides i will choose then a contemporary style.
In other words i haven't made my mind yet!
