Really loved your Rosemary Beach video talking about the vernacular columns and piers. Wife and I went to visit and yeah what you explain is definitely how it just looks right and same in this video. Just feels naturally correct

Neat house, really nice tweaks. In addition to historical precedent it’s also worth mentioning that columns usefully decrease in diameter because they progressively support less weight. So it’s wasteful on material and adds unnecessary mass to make them the same size. Which is the root of the historical precedent I guess.

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Good point. Thanks.

Excellent video as I get ready to redo my porch on my 1896 vernacular carpenter gothic house. Thanks for the book recommendation

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Glad it was helpful!

@piggly-wiggly 11 дней назад

Being from Louisiana, I'm a big fan of A. Hays Town. The use of smaller columns/posts on the second floor makes lots of sense, both aesthetically and functionally. They don't have to support weight on the second floor, so why spend the resources? Plus they just look better. As for the piers, my understanding is that on the Louisiana plantations, which this house suggests, the ground floor was subject to seasonal floods, so simple brick piers would hold up better against the weather than more finished columns above.

@BrentHull 11 дней назад

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Always look forward to the Wednesday design video AND the podcast on Friday. Are you guys done with that or is Jackson just off to school?

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Podcast about to relaunch this fall. Jackson started at NBSS this week. Fun stuff coming.

I think the round columns compliment the new front door well.

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Thanks.

@RonRobertson-lafrance 13 дней назад

Love all the choices, though if it were me, I'd go with the round stone columns on the ground floor, I like those better than the pillars, personally. The other option for the sides with the shutters is heavy lattice with something with a lot of foliage climbing up on it. That will cool the area down in summer (the foliage does). At least this house, other than the error of the same size columns on the upper floor, looks pretty good already.

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Agreed. Thanks.

The first thing I noticed looking at BIL's house is that those thick piers seem to support a very thin-looking cornice/frieze/architrave assembly. Maybe it's the angle of the photo, and a lot of chunky material is under the roof overhang out of my view. IDK. Another solution for BIL might be to drop down a false beam, maybe 8 inches, between the piers on the 2nd story to balance out the thickness of the upper beam with the thickness of the piers supporting it. That is, add a superficial cornice/frieze/architrave. Then I wonder if some inexpensive trimwork could be added to the upstairs piers to add some more vertical lines and shadows to visually thin the upstairs piers, while leaving the downstairs piers the same. There wouldn't be historical precedent for either of these ideas - they are merely the $20k alternative to an otherwise $80k project.

@BrentHull 11 дней назад

The external stairs were Acadian, but the roof line is Caribbean - not so much French as a mixture of French and African. Finally, that's a "cute little house"?

@BrentHull 10 дней назад

Thanks for sharing.

@thetubekid 12 дней назад

It matches nature. The lower portion needs to support more weight at the bottom. It's just like a tree. The base of the trunk is very wide and it gets narrower as it goes taller. It just makes intuitive sense with the physics of our world. Anything else is out of place.

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Agreed! Thx.

@Jenn-E 11 дней назад

Can you do a list of books you like to use for reference? Thank you!

@BrentHull 10 дней назад

Yes, I have a few videos about it. Thx.

@tyleradcock6095 12 дней назад

Would you also reduce the height on the 2nd story guard rail? Or in this situation would you not because it is an occupied space?

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Yes. I would.

@who2u333 12 дней назад

Can a lower upper rail meet code?

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

34.5" is lowest code allows.

@Hakaze 12 дней назад

The transition from colum to a thin wooden beam, looks weird to me. With a hefty base, you get the feel that the house needs strength, so when you sudenly only have these twigs to support the roof, it all looks wrong

@BrentHull 12 дней назад

Noted. Thx.

@Hugo25920 12 дней назад

Maybe the parts would have to be more outspokenly different. So red brick column with white wooden columns on top. It would make more sense to the eye
