About the video
All exterior walls are divided between the interior conditioned space and the exterior unconditioned space by an air barrier. In our case, the air barrier is closed cell sprayed foam insulation. To either side of the air barrier the wall materials must be allowed to dry to ensure long-term durability. I discuss why we chose the materials we did and why the rainscreen wall assembly is best suited to our climate.
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.”
