Stephanie dives into one of the most visually stunning yet technically challenging framing details in residential construction: double exterior walls. Using a real project as the backdrop, she walks through how these walls are laid out, how to identify which wall is structural versus decorative, and why those distinctions matter so much during the build process.

She explains the unique challenges double-wall construction creates for sequencing, insulation, sheathing, and coordination with other trades—especially when walls are pre-cut rather than site-built. She also highlights the trade-offs, from more complex insulation detailing to the major benefits of improved energy performance, cleaner electrical runs, and exceptionally beautiful window and door jamb details.
