Listowski Residence under Construction: Post 2

Construction for the Listowski Residence is moving along very well. I took photos at the site last week, and have included several of them for viewing in this post.
This residence is the first to be designed and built in a new development located on the bay side of Galveston Island. I'll be sharing more information about the development in the near future.

Here are some notes on the included photos...
- The first photo is taken while standing in the Ground Floor Entry Vestibule, looking at the stairs leading up to the First Floor.
- The second photo is a shot taken in the opposite direction... from the First Floor looking at the stairs leading back down to the Ground Floor Entry Vestibule.
- The third photo is taken while standing just outside the Dining Room, looking through the space and over the First Floor Front Porch to the Bay and Causeway beyond. It's really a fantastic view, offering a mix in viewing interest. There's the natural beauty of the Bay contrasted by the view of the Causeway, which is especially nice for viewing at night when lit up.
- I including this fourth photo of the floor, because it's a great way to add a ton of character to any home... this is 2x pine installed directly to the floor trusses, foregoing floor sheathing. At the underside of the floor structure, a spray foam insulation used, which both insulates and seals the "cold floor".
- The fifth photo is taken while standing to the front-left corner of the exterior. You can see the First Floor Front Porch and the Dining Room's French door framed opening towards the left side of the front facade, with the Guest Room/Study framed up at the right side.
- This last photo, the sixth, is taken while standing in the Ground Floor Garage bay, looking up towards the First Floor structure above.
