...the house, we don't fear no water let the rain continue down. Ok, here are some pics of the roof going up and the atrium hole (or, as the Romans called it, the Compluvium).
Not much to report, but the house continues to take shape and the roof going up really defines the space.

congratulations on the roof
the space looks really interesting - I think its going to be great.
Thanks for the comments.
As I am seeing it shape up, I am liking the parti more and more. I think there is a fine line between "pure concept" and "gimick." As much as I love houses based on a pure, simple, easily-read concept, I really wanted to avoid the gimick (and its stronger cousin: "goofy") label -- both Mark and Greg have heard me express my anxiety on this front.
I do wish we could have skipped the intermediate roof beams. They clutter up the second floor spaces and seem overly heavy for the job they are doing. It just occured to me that perhaps there might be a way to get the wall-type panels -- with there internal structure -- to work on a roof, but it is too late for that now.
I think we are going to go with a standing seam roof as you really can see a lot of the roof from the second floor. Supposedly we can skip the decking, which will defray some of the extra cost.

I'm so excited...
to find someone in Dallas building modern. That is something my husband and I throw around from time to time. I would love to get your information to find out the pricing details for my own personal consideration.

the whole parti really stats to be evident now that the roof plane is defined. The compluvium is going to be a magical thing to live with day to day. I'm sure some things will take getting used to, but it will be amazing in one way or another.
I can't wait to come see it soon!
