**★★★★★ — Grateful Beds, Sept. 2016**

> We collaborated on a new build that Eric Odor designed. He was a pleasure to work with, and the client looooved him. He was an integral part of the process, managing the whole team as the cornerstone, gently and with incredible insight.

- [Gnarly & NE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gnarly-and-ne-pj-vj~1802312)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This is a great example of how to transform a typical compartmentalized split-level tract home into a modern home of openness and spatial wonder. New kitchen, new baths, new windows (you won’t believe the windows), new everything.
- [Strange Brew](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/strange-brew-pj-vj~1069310)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: This whole house transformation took its cue from the existing beamed and vaulted living room that seemed to belong to another house in another time. We opened up the rest of the first floor allowing the living room’s texture, material and space to flow into the entry hall, around the island closet, through the family room, and out the kitchen windows into the pond beyond.

- [Zumbro Zen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zumbro-zen-pj-vj~91540)
  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: Unfolding like a strand of pearls from west to east across a steeply descending slope, this energy-efficient and sustainable home commands expansive winter views from its lofty ledge high above the north bank of the Zumbro River. Designed as a series of three linked pods, one each for garage, dwelling and retreat, this collection of sun-drenched forms strikes a quiet and respectful pose on this naturally wooded site.
- [Urban Green](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-green-pj-vj~91562)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: This LEED for Homes, 2,250-square-foot, three-bedroom house with detached garage is nestled into an 42-foot by 128-foot infill lot in the Linden Hills neighborhood. It features an eclectic blend of traditional and contemporary elements that weave it into the existing neighborhood fabric while at the same time addressing the client’s desire for a more modern plan and sustainable living.

I am planning to do a 2/12 roof pitch with metal clad on some areas but asphalt shingles in others.  Is this doable and what cost difference are there between doing the metal clad and ashpalt?
Thanks

Very unique, and love the texture and colors plus dual purpose. Can you share the company that made these? Many thanks...

on the main floor and second floor is 2300sf. does that answer your question?
