remarkably articulate and unpretentious architect. Rare. Hats off.

[@NSBuilders]

It's fun to build with like minded people

[@kashifkhan3040]

@@NSBuilders will be interesting to see BIM used on "small" projects like this as you mentioned with cape cod panels. Could you do a video on that?

[@nicolasfl1864]

What a treat to watch, Vincent and NS are are the top of their game🫡

[@Gabeborder84]

Stoked to see this project progress. Site looks nice too.

[@NSBuilders]

We see the beauty in it, many didn't

[@gavincammell]

"the lot's not very big, just under half an acre". Wow, this place is MASSIVE!

[@cargogh]

Love the consideration to neighbors by 'pitting' some of the mechanicals. Another interesting project!

[@NSBuilders]

Thanks❤

Vincent looking suave in James Bond's jacket 😎

[@nicolasfl1864]

good eye!

[@angeloc700]

Cool concept - looking forward to watching it progress. BTW, I saw a NS Builder white pickup truck at my neighbor's house (in our beach community in CT) a couple weeks ago... Maybe you'll be doing a show from the CT shoreline! Hehehe...

[@NSBuilders]

Ha! I know who that was!

[@piginapancake]

Hope you plan full documentation of the project. Love the details

[@NSBuilders]

Deal

[@rossturner3397]

@NSBuilders as seen on Of Possible's website, is this your personal home or a spec home that you are constructing? Just curious from the perspective of sharing architectural detail snapshots during your walkthroughs (ie. siding hanging down 12" lower than sill plate). As an architect that is not from this region, I'm interested in how these details are being worked out, and even, modified during construction. Some architects don't share details, but I figured with you being the client that maybe there might be more willingness to educate all persons involved in the building process to always improve our trade.

[@rafflesmaos]

That's going to be an awesome house but so far outside the reach of most people money-wise that I would personally hesitate to call anything about it as redefining builder's grade. But best of luck with it, and I'm going to be following the project with interest regardless.

[@MrDzdevil]

The concrete looks great, how is the block like pattern achieved and can it be rotated horizontally?

[@BillyJ10]

What is exactly did you used to spray the top of the footing with to act as the capillary break? I remember being on a jobsite and seeing a cube of block on the ground but covered and the block was still soaked from the moisture wicking up from the ground.

[@rafflesmaos]

I'm just a random nobody so take this with a grain of salt, but I've heard good things about Hydralastic 836.

[@walter9720]

Wow I don’t know where you found him I’ve worked with several architects over the years on cape cod and none of them seemed half as smart as him and never seem to relate well or have a good l to the actual construction of how it all goes together he is very very impressive. I’ve always said every architect should have to work a year in the field to really see how it all work. You can have the highest quality subs and carpenters but without proper planning and knowing how everything works together you can never achieve the highest levels of quality. Heads up I think you might be even pickier than me on the framing or at least the same plan on days of power planning walls flat and modifying walls to fit right. I know it saves a lot of time but I just know you won’t be happy with the quality it’s not as bad as a modular home it’s right between that and a custom stick home it’s not even all their fault you just can’t calculate so many wall sections to add up to the exact measurement you want it’s not possible with the lumber available today.

[@BostonMark]

Any Natural light getting in there ? only one means of egress is out the garage door? what if the electric car catches fire blocks my escape?

[@Mike-dy8bq]

I'm sure that this non-traditional home style, in a traditional style neighborhood, will cause much angst with the neighbors.

[@nikkikiska]

@nikkikiska 0 seconds ago I don't know what chemicals are in this guy's hair product and leaching into his brain, but the rendering of that house looks anything but "nestled into the landscape" or "settled into the site." The rendering shows a house that looks likes its right half is perched atop a bunch of pushed up/graded dirt and the left half is about to collapse into that hideous void reminiscent of a high rise's rear service entry. Then he goes on and on about the "relationships" and "considerations" for the foundation layout, then a couple minutes later we find out that that footprint is just the same as the prior house but "extended in the back left."

[@KAZAM707]

Wait 🫷 this isn't a specific person's house??

[@NSBuilders]

It is not. We’re building this on “spec” and will sell the project when complete
