A Quick Peek

Below is our vision of the front facade. We have been working out the details of facade materials, and construction detailing recently.  A wood or metal rain screen will be framed with a steel angle and set off from the plane of the bedroom balconies.  A hot colored tile will liven up the facade, and balance the composition.  Ideally our materials will either be from salvaged sources, or contain recycled content. We are balancing these needs with the aesthetics, cost, and ease of installation detail.   The bedrooms will have operable fenestration with a small balcony to allow air and light deep into the room.  More to come soon about wall detailing.  Construction starts up again next week!
