Model Progression

Variety – The Bigger Picture

In a build up of work over twenty years a variety of projects have all brought their own individual considerations. Work has not been within the constraints of ordinary codes of construction.

The first example above is of a timber framed studio for a photographer uniquely built above an existing garage.

At hand to this solution was the bravura of a structural engineer willing to develop an unusual vision of leaving the garage alone whilst integrating a frame with steel posts and a woodwool panel system. The scheme is anchored upon previous architects’ knowledge used upon self-build social housing in South London. The construction is both tried and tested and equally prescient today because of it’s insulative qualities which in concert with modern insulation give a particularly high level of performance. This type of construction has been revisited on several other occasions in the practice’s history with it’s first trial in Abercegir (it has also been used in the construction of Woodlands Road Mosque not unsurprisingly where Drago Horvat the builder orchestrated the job )

A Methodical Approach

The practices expertise base lies in equal measure with design and experiences of twenty years as well as practical building application.

Two self-build in- house projects have been created together with design and build work.

The use of models remains an underlying thread to explore inherent cost considerations and the best alternatives for a scheme. Clients are presented with a choice of options not the only suggestion and of course the options are always backed up with clear understandable advice about the path to take.It is hoped that tried and tested projects are repeated albeit in an updated form to demonstrate preferred outcomes see some of the latest voyages of discovery this year.It is hoped that tried and tested projects are repeated albeit in an updated form to demonstrate preferred outcomes see some of the latest voyages of discovery this year.
