I was just looking for clues about the millwork details, and looking at the owners photos, they have a drawing sheet on the kitchen cabinetry, which has a note which says on plan see standard sheet for Perforated board ( see sheet 4 for stool and anchor for beam above) on elevation ...in around stru...

Now the next part is the clerestorey framing. I wonder how close the construction of this is too the drawings we have? Like usual Mr Wright appears to be freeing the corners, so structural supports are ...... somewhere? Im starting the get the feeling that Mr Wright used Fascia's as a principal stru...

Here is revised Section with entry/living with dimensions Ive based the Units on Entry height of 2100mm / 6 units = 350mm/unit = 13.7 inch - thus in , living 8 units 2800mm - or there abouts. If the units are 13" = 330mm, then 6 units = 1950mm= 6'6" , 8 units - 2640mm = 8'8" I can cha...

looks like from this view that the Studio roof is not quite right - I'll adjust that too

http://sdrdesign.com/GW16det.jpg I've changed the lower roof framing to option B, which is following the above drawn detail more closely. I think this looks a lot simpler - but its asking alot for a 150 UB and a double header to do! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49763149586_1de2f9e7c8_b.jpg a...

If the note for carport roof says

Joists 3- 2 x 4 @ 2' oc 6' 7.75" from Mat

then, if the ceiling lining is 12mm plywood (1/2") then the ceiling height is 6' 7.25 = 2050mm

does that look right?

Whats the unit height of Goetsch-Winckler ?

my model is currently on 12 "- 300mm - which puts the GF ceiling @ 1800 ht ( 6 x 300)- which I think is a bit low - pariticularly for me (1816mm)

RE Trellis Im wondering if the trellis is actually a single 100 x 50mm , then clad with fascia size board- say 145 x 20mm (ex 150 x 25) that Jacob I drawing of fascia I think reads 7/8" thickness x say 6" high ( ie 150 x 23mm) here is a screenshot of that idea - as a partial section to rev...

I think this photo show the double joists for the trellis cantilevers - - does that seem right?

I think you've captured what's going on. (btw - can't read your notes on these B&W drawings - but that's OK) Wondering now about your question concerning the corners of the kitchen. I assume you are talking about the corners of the exterior kitchen wall that stop short of the roof and carry the...

<Snip> btw, top note says: "double header" ... translation for the Aussie: " two pieces of lumber side by side." <snip> if double header, then I'll take my piece of steel out - with the way the joists are laid out in that area = steel would be a waste. Also looking at that 250UB...

a couple of drawings sheets derived from the model - I've added some notes (in metric)

I Gotta Say, Mr Wright expects steel to do quite a lot of work! also I noted that there is a few points , in plan view, which take quite a lot of the roof loads. such as brick corners in the kitchen - they must be supporting the cantilevers - some how The corner of the living room roof at the bedroo...

I'd be happy if one of you could work this out, and then produce an axometric view from above with the steel highlighted clearly in red. First, a detail of the Taliesin structural drawing previously cited. http://sdrdesign.com/GW16det.jpg snip Any idea what that top note says? the others say: Carpo...
