Downstairs the large sofa is a caramel colored sofa again from Room and Board called André. We love Room and Board but also like to mix things from other sources like Overstock.com, IKEA and various other resources along with the occasional antique. Jason Andi,

There is a very small basement used mainly for mechanicals, some storage and a very tiny, tiny weight room. We had some big ticket items like the triple-pane windows, SIPs Thermomass concrete wall and radiant heat that we felt were a wise investment for us on our project that someone else may not choose to do. The one reason I hesitate to mention price per sq. is that we also did a fair chunk of work on our house in order to keep the costs down that had we paid someone else to do would have jumped our costs up a fair amount but I will tell you that we were below what the avg. cost per sq. in our area is by a nice amount.

Would you be willing to share what your $/Psf came out to be? Thanks. When you say modern doesn’t have to be expensive what price range did the project come out in?
