Berryessa Terraced House: Foundation perimeter beam, slab and retaining walls formwork – Photographs

Ten images from the construction process of the foundation formwork reaching completion. The first six images are from the living room and kitchen main volume, with the sitting alcove at the end of the living room now shaped; one from the studio volume; another one from the staircase connecting the studio to the living room volume; the ninth image is an overview of the studio and living room-kitchen area, while the last one depicts the bedroom and library foundation formwork. As earth and stones were being used for fill to be compacted, design decisions were made for the precise spacing of the wooden load bearing columns, for providing their tube pile foundations. Concurrently, the location of kitchen and bathroom sinks and tubs was finalized, necessary for establishing the water and sewer embedded pipe lines. .
