- In continuing to look at the steeple a design option was created to simplify the design and reduce the cost. As much as the original team and myself love the more custom design, a client with a limited budget may have to lose some elements like this. It is our job to do our best to design and understand BOTH options. This way we can propose both in their similarities and differences, reflect on our opinion and the clients wants, needs and limitations. The simplified design keeps the slats and the gradual increase spacing moving upward. But eliminates the bevel and the angle descending which in turn eliminates the custom bracing shapes. Learning to balance and understand design options is key here.
