Ask a few adults about their wildest dreams for the future and many will tell you about a house, with a curving staircase, multiple chandeliers and a palatial amount of space.

‘Not traditional’
Clayburn Construction Co. specializes in homes costing more than $1 million, as well as boutique office projects.
The fully furnished Concept Home includes five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a theater room, a wine cellar enclosed in curving glass and a great room with a dome.
"The bones in this house are really different from the architectural features in most of the other homes in the region,” designer Jan Green said. "Not traditional Oklahoma. It’s definitely not.”
Green pointed to the ceiling in the library balcony.
Instead of wood beams creating a criss-cross effect, the dramatic ceiling is formed with drywall.
The Concept Home includes touch-screen lighting and climate controls.
The Concept Home also will be about 50 percent more energy efficient than other homes of its size, partly because of the "one continuous foam insulating blanket” sprayed on the house, Clayburn said.
In addition, the home was designed so that doors and windows could be opened for easy movement between the house and the backyard veranda.
The veranda includes a kitchen at one end and a wood-burning fireplace at the other.
"The outside areas are so gorgeous. It will be a great place to have a party. I’m sure there will be many more there,” said Kandy Parsons, director of development.
