Your sense of detail really paid off in a beautiful project. Question: do you regret not going with whole-house radiant heat? I ask because concrete radiates cold (and heat), and with Seattle’s damp cold, I’m thinking perhaps the concrete flooring is chilly. I’m contemplating a custom home, and the quote I got on radiant heat is really expensive; I’d like to eliminate it if not necessary. So in the winter, is the concrete cold, or not?

Now that you’ve been in the house for awhile what features do you enjoy most and what would you have done differently?

Also, I won’t reveal your identity because you chose to remain anonymous on this site, but I looked up your portfolio based on your email address. Let’s just say I’m thrilled you don’t like the house. Couldn’t be more thrilled actually.

because he didn’t use an architect! Build has no licensed architects on staff, do they? I couldn’t find one on their website.

there’s some nice details to the house, but the big picture doesn’t really do it for me (the exterior elevations don’t seem very residential–modernist or not, there’s no sense of human scale).

I think an actual architect might’ve helped this project. who knows
