An interesting project I hope to be involved in has crossed my desk. Its not every day around here where somebody wants to build a 12,000 sq.ft. home, yet an email arrived from a German architectural firm looking for someone local to perform structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) engineering on such a home. I won’t be posting any images of the real thing, and I don’t yet know who the owner is, but the photo is similar to the style and here are the specs.
- 12,000 sq.ft.
- 7 bedrooms
- 5 full and 2 half baths
- dining room seating 14
- 6 car garage
- 2 living rooms
- office/library
- kitchen with adjacent lounge
- 10′x25′ pantry
- 350 sq.ft. laundry room
- indoor and outdoor pools
- sauna
- gym
- spa
- juice bar
- wine tasting room
- wine cellar
- dressing room
- panic room
- elevator
- hydronic heating and cooling
- modern “green” styling
The German firm checked out as legit, and there are some German owned industries in the area, so a proposal for services was sent back. Hopefully something will come of it.
