Classic Tudor in Gates Mills with two pools asks $3.9 million: House of the Week

GATES MILLS, Ohio -- The setting is straight out of a storybook: a Tudor-style manor on acres of beautiful, peaceful countryside not too far removed from the bustle of town. The five-bedroom, 11-bathroom (8 full) home on County Line Road was built in 1920 and is located on 9 acres of prime land. It's listed for $3,900,000. "This incredible estate is for the discerning buyer who wants a home to retreat to after a long week with the privacy and quiet of the country," real estate agent Craig Cantrall with Chestnut Hill Realty said. "You won't want for anything as this home has spas to relax in, pools to swim in and a theater to escape in." Yes, pools is plural. In addition to the outdoor pool, flanked by a cabana house and expansive bluestone patio , there is a hotel-like indoor pool along with sauna and gym. The interior is a combination of timeless and modern. The main level living areas have been preserved with classic architectural details such as arc...

Bathroom Exhaust Fans | GreenBuildingAdvisor.com

Older homes often lack bathroom exhaust fans . In the old days, if the bathroom was smelly or steamy, you were supposed to open a window to air it out. This isn’t a very logical ventilation method , especially when temperatures are below zero, or when the weather is 90°F and humid. Yet this time-honored method of bathroom ventilation is still enshrined in our building codes. According to the 2009 International Residential Code (sections R303.3 and M1507.3), a bathroom with an operable window does not need to have a bath exhaust fan . Why do we need exhaust fans? In spite of the code’s archaic loophole, builders should install an exhaust fan in every bathroom or toilet room — even when the bathroom has a window. A bath exhaust fan can perform several functions: It can exhaust smelly air , allowing fresher air to enter the bathroom. It can exhaust humid air , allowing dryer air to enter the bathroom. When operated for 24 hours per day or when controlled by a timer, it can act (in so...

AIA: Building Envelope | Building Design + Construction

In a general sense, the term “curtain wall” refers to an exterior wall that does not support loads other than its own weight. Curtain walls are therefore nonstructural, and serve solely to protect the building from the elements. Seismic and wind forces on a curtain wall are transferred to the supporting structure at anchorage points, where the curtain wall frame is attached to the building, generally at floors or columns. Although curtain wall systems may incorporate a variety of materials, we will focus on the type that is so ubiquitous, it has effectively become synonymous with the words “curtain wall”: the glazed curtain wall system . Glazed curtain walls usually consist of a metal frame, often aluminum, with infills of vision and spandrel glass . Other materials may be interposed between glazing units, including brick veneer , precast concrete, metal panels, and thin stone. The hallmark of these systems is a focus on large expanses of glass, which shrouds the building in a seemi...
