About the video
I usually begin the process by proposing a solution which is in line with exactly what my client is expecting. I then propose a solutions that’s quite a bit different than what they were expecting and one in between. This ensures we’ve explored all of the relevant options and ultimately leaves the client to choose the one that best suits their needs. I discuss the use of board and batten siding, shingles (on the walls and the roof), as well as metal, glass and how we made the decisions we made.
Meet the instructors
Eric Reinholdt is a founder of Thirty by Forty Design Workshop which was established in June 2013 in a home he designed overlooking Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. In 2016, he designed and constructed the Long Studio to complement the Longhouse and serve as a full-scale model of his design principles and the latest in building science; this is the home for 30X40.
“My work celebrates humble materials, subtle contrasts and finely-crafted details. I have a strong interest in modern regionalist design, local materials and familiar building forms juxtaposed against modern, open floor plans. I employ a minimalist, Shaker-like palette of details inspired by the site and natural surroundings.”
