door handle: steel w/ leather grip, Ize
regarding the counter by john pawson Well, the counter may be nice but as far as "minimal details" the architect may have screwed the pooch on this one. Anybody else see any transverse (short direction) wall bracing keeping this super long and narrow residence from falling over? Being a cathedral ceiling with no ceiling joists or rafter ties, requires that the ridge board become an engineered ridge beam. I dunno, what is that span there? 40 feet? 50 feet? 60 feet? Anybody know what size beam is required for such a span? Minimal details? Lets hope the damage is minimal.
