Often I as an architect do nothing than a framework. Skilled and talented fill it out. trengayorwoodworks Will Gillchrist Bert Sandercock @kernowbert - great prep work; building contractor of choice for anything challenging and unusual. Jordan and Rachel @versatilelifting - perfect crane for the job, and a great understanding of how best to get the big heavy bits exactly where they needed to be Moss @ westland woodwork and Tom @ttrant8 with high quality workshop framing, as too did Andy Broadley; dependable throughout, and a couple of mega shifts on site to get the awkward asymmetrical hips and hip purlins installed. Lovely to see something happening.

Inspiration. Thomas Heatherwick about architecture.

External insulation system with polystyrene. Yes there are more organic materials but when using insulation the question about how robust, how available and what skill and care is required are important considerations. Polystyrene is robust and easy available. Good installation to make it fireproof is essential but for low buildings this is manageable. Organic materials are often treated with chemicals to be resistant. Sustainability in construction is most often pure marketing. All materials and technology to make buildings sustainable or using less energy are available. Nobody would buy a new car without airbag? It would be fantastic living in a warm comfortable and healthy home would be not a privilege.

Why is this existing in Denmark? https://materialepyramiden.dk/ A visual way of impact and interesting is the performance of insulation materials from plastic. #architecture #architect #maquette #architecturemodel #superarchitects #architecturedesign #arquitetapage #architectures #architettura #architecturelover #architektur #architecture #design #archilovers #designer #architecture #materials #sustainibility

Beautiful morning?

Hidden gem. Inspiration. I was outside and thought it was closed ready to leave when I met Falmouth friends having lunch there. I feel places like this one in Cornwall are rare and overall there is less and less space to start something different and experiment.
