Looks like another fascinating NS Builders project loaded with unique -- and very challenging -- details throughout. This video teases us beautifully on all that will follow. Looking forward to future episodes as it all unfolds before us!
Next level, haven’t even finished the video yet. But my prediction, this reminds me of Matt risingers house he was gonna flip. No way it’s spec, that’s your new house, I’m calling it.
This looks great. Very tastefully done. Modern with a warm organic palette. The costs per sq ft must be crazy. Up here in Toronto a semi detached house, 2k sq ft in the city, is pushing 2 million bucks. We started to look for a knock down and small properties were 850k in 2020 and within a yr they were 1.3 mil. I don't even know the per sq ft costs are now. I've heard 800-1k for something like this.
That framing is so dense; the house is a tank. All those depressions to achieve perfect finish floor elevation will be so worth it! Of all the recent material trends, I hope white oak stays around for a while. Hope Madera makes some vids also.
Nick, I’m in the process of designing a basement bathroom at my own split level and have a window in a tough spot where I’d like the vanity there but don’t know how to mitigate the issue. I’ll be waiting to hear what you’ve done and I’m sure it will be a good solution so if I can afford to do it I likely will. If you could share it with me privately if you don’t want to spill the beans I’d really appreciate it and if you can’t I understand.
Great structural design! It must have been quite a challenge with all those big window openings and clear internal spans, not to mention the vaulted ceiling with the skylight.
@@NSBuilders The structural design might be a nice topic for a future video... the location of the different steel beams in the roof is quite intriguing...
For a spec house, this is nuts. Amazing nuts. But nuts. But Boston prices gonna Boston so it checks out. So excited to see how this ends up! I love that you can make it beautiful and still hit crazy good R values. Shame the giant windows will not be helping that at all. lol
Damn ! You are doing a building Howard Roark would be jealous of ! ! " I'm re-reading the Fountain Head" . We use aluminum Z-clips on a lot of tricky installs maybe epoxy them on the stone veneers? One last mention there is a tile guy old fart like me name Sal Diblasio? On utube I am pretty sure he lives in your area and is up to y'alls standards.Looks like its going to be a winner all the way thru.
@@NSBuilders but a large rectangular monolithic mass with so many rooms is always going to be greater on the consumption side, thus, the efficiency is relative to its size. Compared to less mass and more site specificity to the conditions themselves.
Instead of dropping the floor doesn't it make more sense to have a uniform floor system and then install the thickest materials first and then match elevation and build up on your subfloor so everything is flush?
Framing is the best part of the construction. Great video.
The only videos I actually look forward to on TH-cam. Nice drone footage!

Missed these site visit vids! Beautiful detail as usual! Looking forward to future visits
Thanks for hanging
so much hard work for something thats likely going to be viewed by housekeepers most of the time
I really like how you’ve replaced pain in the ass with fun in your vocabulary
so so so sick, can't wait to see all the mechanicals in. also very interested to see how you end up landscaping it

I'm sure Nick is doing extremely well, but seems to me this house will be an 8 figure price tag.
Yeah I wish this was mine, mines in the works, this is not it
that drone tour was just a treat
Wow this is a spec house? So much stunning (great) stuff going on. Hope to see a final result eventually.
Great Post- Thank you for your time you spent to pull this together
Your drone pilot should go by call sign Maverick!
POV drone shot at the end is nuts too
probably handed the drone controller to some kid who plays way too much videogames.
TH-cam hasn't recommended your videos for while ,even tho I'm subscribed and hit the bell.
That’s weird, TH-cam has been weird but we’re back!
🔥Thank you so much for the BTS. Beautiful work.
Love seeing this unique stunner come together. If I were moving to Boston…
You inspire me to be a better builder.

This home will be around for a LONG time

Dude your a tank 💪🏽
As a former job super nearly killed on site from falling debris, hard hats were my standard headwear forever thereafter. Stay healthy everybody.

Challenge accepted.
@@NSBuilders The structural design might be a nice topic for a future video... the location of the different steel beams in the roof is quite intriguing...
So... Under TLAG, does an unfinished basement count towards it too?
Is there a way to "panelize" the Petersen brick on the sloped surfaces and attach the panels to the framing?
Those strong walls are interesting. How heavy are they?

You’d be surprised
@@NSBuilders I am very excited to hear all the details as the build unfolds!
I missed site videos 👍
Us too

We designed a clip for the past vertical install. Video coming soon
What will the R value of the Windows be?
Is that total square footage code in the state building code? Or a city ordinance? Just curious. Awesome vid.
This is a city thing
Interesting.
👍
hers
Like trying to make a cruise ship energy efficient. Oof.
It’s not that hard

Another over the top house for some over the top deuce bag who in the end will be complaining of WiFi issues 👎🏻👎🏻
You mad man?
