were worried about the torsion of the wind
blowing against it, or even just the vibration from
a slammed door, so we ribbed the concrete with
steel and edged the windows in steel.
The fireplaces in the dining room and primary
bedroom are of European design and wouldn’t have
met United States fire codes. To bring them up to
U.S. code, we had to make the walls surrounding
them out of non-combustible masonry boards
and vent the boxes. Above each, there’s a thin line
visible; that’s where the heat escapes.
DNJ: You mentioned that you were tasked with
making this property a working farm. What were the
challenges involved with that?
RW: It was interesting and completely different
from working on a standard lot. This project
encompassed everything from determining how
to get construction vehicles onto the property
while retaining the original trees to how the
barn and the pasture would be positioned. We
needed to work around a stream, and we had to
install geothermal wells in locations where they
wouldn’t be in the way of the pastures. (The farm
includes livestock.) The project was a complex
undertaking, but it was really cool because of its
vastness and multifaceted aspects. DNJ
