dbigtex56 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Wow! That's some serious cantilevering going on there. I like it. Also, apparently they own the c. 1920's house next door, and I'm delighted they decided to save it. So many architects/developers in Houston wouldn't have bothered.

Texasota Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 This is extremely rad, and I second the appreciation for keeping the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Holy Cantilever.... Yeah that ain't happenin. I'm no structural engineer, but I did take physics. Last I checked, gravity is still a thing. The sketchup model and elevation don't really show much either. Looks very preliminary. If you want a deep cantilever like that you would need to do some funky stuff with large steel trusses basically from the under ceiling to the roof, and then really anchor that sucker in the back. Really expensive. I would love to be surprised though! Please prove me wrong. MetaLabs is a good firm. Always glad to see them get work.

The developers obviously intend to put a stop to the owner of that Bullitt-era Mustang from doing donuts in the middle of the street, given the residue from said activity that's clearly visible in the last photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
