Harmon is a fan of exposed steel because of the wonderful way it expresses a building’s assembly, as it does with this house he designed. That it contains pre- and post-consumer recycled content is a bonus. The steel industry says the product’s strength and durability have made residential framing one of its most popular applications, representing 50 percent of annual construction spending by market.
