I may be crucified for this, but in my opinion: Tha half a million dollar house is going to look like crap within ten years. T-111 doesn't hold up, and doesn't appear to be well-detailed here. (Flor doesn't hold up well over time, either.)
Don't get me wrong, I think this house looks cool now, but for $500K I'd want it to look not just cool but good for 30 years. I guess I would have suggested to the client to phase this project - build one of the two pods now, using better materials, and the other pod in ten years.

Just my opinion.
I agree about the T-111.
