About the video
On my daily hike I climb Pemetic mountain in Acadia national park and following that you’ll see excerpts from two contractor interviews as I search for the right builder to help construct the OUTPOST project.
My schedule prioritizes making things in the morning and managing things in the afternoon and this ensures the work that’s most important to me is completed first.
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.”
