Building Scale & Massing | Architect Site Visit | Sawdust EP 03
On Episode 3 of SAWDUST, we return to our 1703 Grist Mill project where Kevin McCloskey, Board Member of the South Kingstown Land Trust, talks about the use of hydropower in early New England farming and how our work will preserve operations more than 300 years later for the local community.
Then, we catch up with the team setting rafters at our helical pier project. Tyler Zagryn of @DiMauroArchitects explains how the complex intersecting gambrel roof is one of many design elements that will help to minimize this "upside down" home's massing from the street level.
Finally, Jeff heads over to Newport to visit Tyler and owner Ron DiMauro at the office to dial in on a few of the more complex exterior details. Listen in for their perspective on coastal design and unique approach to designing #architectureforthesoul.
