Perhaps I scared you off with the Armour-Stiner house?

In essence it's an octagon with curved roof segments. One could make it with surplus Quonset hut arches. The North-facing segments could be super-insulated, with the South-facing segments as passive solar collectors with a black or forest green standing seam metal skin.

In any case, I'm having trouble quoting Google Street View (I suspect the anti-virus protection). I suggest looking at the house on the Southeast corner of 14th and C streets in Springfield. It's bounded on two sides by streets and an alley on the third, but it could work on a lot with a side driveway. On one side stacked back to front are a two-car garage, a single-car carport and a covered walk to the front entry. There's also a deck on the non-street side.

So it has an enclosed workspace, a place to display a showboat, and a kitchen window that overlooks the approach.

Let me know if you can see it.
