Transcript | 29 SMALL HOUSE BY BURDETTE KEELAND, JR. A. T. Knies, structural engineer This speculative steel house is now being built in Houston, Texas. The exposed structural system is comprised of 5-inch columns, 8-foot module, with all the structural steel being welded. The roof system consists of steel tees with 2 inches of Tectum and one inch of Fiberglas, with pitch and gravel roof. The floor plan includes living room, family room, kitchen, three bedrooms, 2 baths, storage room, 2-car garage, an interior-exterior patio. Including the patio there are approximately 1700 square feet of floor space. The plan is U-shape, with the patio in the center and all areas of the house opening onto it. The entrance way leads into the patio which is covered with a steel lattice. This lattice work breaks the lines of the flat top roof and, when covered with vines, will shade the patio.
