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.

  The nice #homes in the area are larger lot estates, and graceful professional builder homes. This is an #ease of #access #location. The landscaping is #elegant mature #southern. The #trees are mature, the native growth is thick with flowers, muscadines...like typical #Birningham #Alabama. The #street for this #development is a dual access road forming a loop that helps keep the #neighborhood #estatelots #peaceful.

God is in the Details

This door is built from Redwood planks, with bronze and hammered steel hardware. The thing that makes this door interesting is: it was built for security. It is on a cabin in the mountains 25 miles from pavement. The cabin is a dovetailed 10” x 12” redwood cant; truly a cool place in a beautiful location where the elk loiter and conventional services don’t exist. This place was built to keep honest people honest. Behind the Redwood skin of this door is a steel plate, and on the other side of the steel plate, another redwood skin. It is the kind of door that bullets won’t penetrate and honest people could never break into. The multipoint hardware system secures the door in several locations around the door. The windows on this cabin are covered with shutters build the same way.
