About the video
We’re using advanced framing techniques to optimize our material usage: single top plates, 24″ stud spacing (more insulation, less lumber), insulated engineered headers and three stud corners.
We made a conscious decision not to rent a dumpster for this project which leads to a reduced waste stream. It’s far easier to reduce waste when you don’t have the convenience of a dumpster on-site. Framing cut-offs are recycled in our wood stove for kindling and sheet-good material waste is kept to an absolute minimum. As a result, there was less than one garbage bag full of trash for this entire phase of work.
Next up…flashing details, metal roof, electrical and insulation…
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.”
