Forms are the nice word for the trenches dug to hold the rebar and concrete that supports the entire house. We're native Northeasterners, so the whole concept of earthquakes is disproportionately scary. And the city insists on Richter 8+ quality foundation - so these are deep and fully reinforced. And that makes us very happy.
Our design called for very little expansion of the footprint of the house - only the turret, front entry and garage creep forward. Here you can see the forms for the turret and the front entry. The chimney is going to slide forward and get out of the way of the front door (thankfully - it's been in the way for years).
