Did they need to be craned in place ?** *(in Photo Questions)* Do the glass walls support roof load ? A: Hi there, thank you for reaching out! Fleetwood supplied the windows and doors – there are some structural columns in line with the windows but the windows themselves are not load bearing. A crane was likely used but this was managed by the general contractor on the project. **Q: steel beam paint or treated** *(in Photo Questions)* Looks amazing. How were the steel beams treated\\finished? A: @mbeezy - Thank you! The steel beams were painted. **Q: Cabinet Hardware** *(in Photo Questions)* I'd love to know the name/manufacturer of the finger pulls. Thanks! A: Hi there! The only info I was able to find was that they are from Emtek. **Q: Where can I find the nightstands?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the chests as nightstands. Where were they from? A: Hi there, unfortunately we are unaware of where the interior designer found the chest of drawers, but my guess would be a vintage shop! **Q: HVAC** *(in Photo Questions)* How do they provide heating and air conditioning? A: Much appreciated! **Q: Paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the GrAy used on the exterior of this home? Name & Brand of paint A: Hi gailshahan. Thanks for your comment. The gray paint used on the exterior of the home is Bejamin Moore - Iron Mountain. Cheers! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
