We originally thought that the steel installation would make the house design easier to visualize. I think we may have been wrong on that one.
The two longest beams were installed and without context they look pretty strange. We haven't shared the exterior elevations of the home, so this extremely large beam sticking out of the back of the house probably doesn't make sense to most.
These two beams on the North side of the house will cantilever over a covered patio at the rear of the house, adjacent to the pool.
This cantilevered patio adds length and drama to the design, while also being a very functional feature of the home. We expect this covered patio will be used frequently.
The rest of the steel will be installed tomorrow and then the roof framing can begin. We're looking forward to sharing the progress.
