A home with many domes near Emma Long Park

Blair and Julie Drenner's 12,000-square-foot home is a wonder of domes and arches. Taking influences from Germany, Spain, France, Morocco and Italy, the couple worked with Luxor Custom Homes, a company he is a part owner of, to design a home that while grand, works for their family of six.

Blair Drenner is a manager for IBM. Julie Drenner is an attorney who is a lobbyist with the Heartland Institute. Building custom homes is a hobby for them. This is the second one they've completed for their family, but they've also worked on homes for other people, Julie Drenner says.

Or is there such a thing as the WIN WIN, a peaceful resolve allowing for the best of both worlds.  A sort of design for the sexes.  A room that they both can be comfortable in and all their visitors can enjoy.
