My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The house is composed of a fiberglass composite shell and milled wood interior surface. I have added a page on material and construction and feel free to check it out!

    Very cool! Was this all constructed by students?

    Thank you! It's a speculative academic project so not realized yet. I would be thrilled to have it built as it is quite pushing the edge of residential architecture. So please vote for me by saving the images to your ideabook and help spread the word :D
