Episode 1 of the 2020 Idea House series kicks off in Eastham, MA, a small town halfway out on the Cape Cod peninsula, where our Cottage on the Cape has begun.
Host Chris Ermides speaks with the architects, Don Powers and Christina Carlson, and builder, Matt Cole, to understand their decisions behind the design of the house.
Matt explains how the exterior walls are being installed, and gives Chris a tour of the house. As the last of the framing goes up, the subfloor gets completed. The walls were built off-site, so Chris takes a visit to Cape Cod Panel to see what that process entails.
