Last weeks meeting with Micheal (our architect) really got me excited about how this entire project is coming to life. Our meeting was a working meeting where Micheal shared the dozen or more ideas he had generated regarding the interior and exterior of the home. We were able to take a peak at the 3D-rendering on the computer and even toy around a little with exterior materials. The virtual tour of the interior really made the project become a reality to me. Seeing for the first time what I have imagined in my head so many times was really cool and very exciting.
Here are some of the images of the exterior that best represent what the final product should look like. The house is starting to take on it's own personality at this point. This is really evident when you start moving materials around on the outside of the building and realize that the structure is asking for a little less here or a little more there to create balance and harmony.
The brown sections of the house are a concrete siding (in large sheets) floating off the exterior surface of the building and divided with a grid system at varying sizes. The gray areas are two different substrates. The first on the main body of the house as well as the chimney is a traditional vertical style shed siding (popular in a lot of loft style buildings). the second materials is concrete and makes up the entire lower half of north side of the house both on the inside and outside.
