The house was 3,257 square feet and we were able to spread the cost of some of the more expensive rooms (kitchen and bathrooms) across more simple spaces like bedrooms and living spaces, so it’s larger than I think a house in the low-cost modern house conversation really should be for consideration.

.” To help you mentally get to where I am at, here is the table I am siting at typing this up - It’s now 12:27am because I thought I should stop and take a picture of the eat-in kitchen that is part of my studio hotel room where I am currently staying … but let’s not get ahead of ourself.

The short description is that the site had to be cleared (architectural speak for scraping the dirt and landscaping away as needed), the piers have been drilled (holes dug into the ground down to rock which will be filled with concrete and rebar) and formwork is getting set.

Fast-forward to Wednesday and then I went out-of-town for the Texas Society of Architects convention … and didn’t get back to Dallas until late Saturday night.
