Birmingham View Site

 I have to make a new project. Something that is easy , like low hanging fruit...good neighborhood, nice view, easy jurisdictions, driveway already in: stone and timber design. This house is selectively designed for this site. The drive and garage is super private and easy to access. Building footprint is well delineated and ready to go.


Concept

Nice #view, great #location for a new well appointed #custom #house. #Altadena, no #HOA, #design in progress addressing #solar #orientation.


Country Lanes in unincorporated area. Back in this neighborhood, on the hill, before 280 turns into a traffic jamb...only a stones throw from Grandview Hospital and equally close to Briarwood Christian Elementary School, a little enclave of stone outcropping makes the perfect escarpment home site.


The tractors have started, the site is ready, the surveyor has made a topo and made lines on the boundries; for a 5 bedroom and a 4 bedroom home.


The drive is newly surfaced,


The neighborhood is great for kids...skakeboarders kids and bikers alike.


The enclave is called Knight's Crest. Knight's Crest is a subdivision with 2 lots each over 1.5 acres. Both lots are view lots. The view expands over city and country vista to the Oak Mountain to the South and East. Excellent #orientation for Future solar development.     


Access to the best parts of southern Birmingham are minutes away. Vestavia via Rocky Fidge, Grandview via old 280, Cahaba Heights via dolly ridge: the surrounding properties and services are the best in the region. The cities with the lowest crime, the best police, the best fire departments are all around you. Even better; the best Private Christian School in the Country is practically next door.

If you like Mountain Brook...well it's next door too.

Mountain Cottage

This residence has several special architectural features. I set up the foundation to wall detail so the home appeared to have a stone foundation, the solid steel wood burning firebox in a full masonry surround and chimney so that the fire can be as hot as wanted, the interior is timbered, vertical T&G wood is used on the interior walls with a special base and head mould on the windows and doors, the siding was installed an air space between the board and batt siding and the exterior sheathing, the doors are solid stain grade wood panel doors; the 1250 Sq Ft footprint was hammered for all I could get. One of my favorite features is the deep arched masonry window wells on the front of the lower floor.
