We Want Less Steel!

The Engineer originally called for 4x6 steel here and I pushed for 2" x 6" with thicker wall and he gave us the OK. I just did the same on another project I am working on and reduced from 8x8 x 1/4" to 3x5 x 3/8". We want LESS steel, smaller sightlines, bigger glass!

After working on hundreds of giant modern homes over two decades I have seen what can be achieved with a good design team. I'm not an engineer but I play one on the internet? lol
