Our website has had a make-over! Lots of new projects added and lots more still to come…………take a look and let us know what you think? Very pleased to see our Angel Yard project with @jankatteinarch win the Meanwhile category at the @nlalondon 2023 awards. Well done to all involved and a big thank you to our client @enfield_council for being so supportive. The project repurposes a collection of disused vehicle garages to provide new work and meeting spaces for the community. @jackhobhouse #retrofit #repurposed #repurposedbuildings #timber #timberconstruction #timberbuildings #timberstructure #timberengineering Our playful contribution to the Engineers Create exhibition reveals some of our thinking behind the Beech Court Pavilion project, comprising of a 20m span pavilion roof, approximating a hyperbolic paraboloid. Nice. The exhibition runs until Saturday, so there is still plenty of time to drop in and see some lovely structural models. St Pancras Church NW1 2BA 16-25 November 12.00-18.00 #engineerscreate #structuralmodel #structuralengineer #structuralengineering #theengineeringclub Work in progress for the upcoming Engineers Create exhibition by TheEngineeringClub which will take place at St Pancras Church, NW1 2BA, 16-25 November, 12.00-18.00 (closed Sundays). Hope to see you there! Our models have been influenced by studies undertaken for one of our current projects, comprising of a 20m span pavilion roof, approximating a hyperbolic paraboloid, with extensive glazed facade. The hanging chain model explores how the inverted geometry of this arrangement defines the geometry of the most efficient compression structure. “As hangs a flexible cable so, inverted, stand the touch pieces of an arch” Robert Hooke 1675 (and Martin Waters, eHRW 2023 😉) #engineerscreate #structuralmodel #structuralengineering #structuralengineer #roberthooke #theengineeringclub Some ‘nearly there’ photos of our student housing project for St Catherine’s College, Cambridge with @cottverm, providing 23 student rooms and ancillary spaces. Cross laminated timber was adopted to help minimise the carbon footprint of the project whilst enabling a condensed construction period to be achieved for the development within the College grounds. @engineers_hrw provided full design of the cross laminated timber structure. #timberbuildings #timberstructure #crosslaminatedtimber #cambridge #stcatherinescollege #studenthousing #studenthousingdevelopment #housing Delighted to see our Studio House project with @aocarchitecture has been shortlisted for the Manser Medal - AJ House of the Year Award! Creative use of low cost/low tech structural solutions were central to our approach here, to minimise costs and help the team deliver a truly unique new family home in a wooded area on the edge of Hampstead Heath in London 😍 📷 @annastathakiphoto #mansermedal #houseoftheyear #lowcostconstruction #homes #familyhome #architectsjournal #uniquehomes Very happy to see our cross laminated timber housing project with @edwardwilliamsarchitects shortlisted for an @architectsjournal Architecture Award (Housing) 2023. Cross laminated timber was designed in collaboration with @canduccigroup and was used for almost all structural elements, including balconies and left exposed in various areas internally. We are rather fond of it! 😊 #timberconstruction #timberstructure #sustainableconstruction #crosslaminatedtimber #glulam #housing #infillhousing #newham 📷 @agnesesanvito Very pleased indeed to see our Hay Castle restoration project with @mica_architects shortlisted for the @architectsjournal Architecture Awards (Heritage) 2023! We are so proud to have contributed to the the sensitive rescue and restoration of the castle which was at significant risk having been neglected for decades. The revitalised buildings offer gallery and learning space along with a restored medieval keep, reestablishing the castle as an iconic focal point for the town and local area. #ajarchitectureawards #architectsjournal #haycastle #buildingrestoration #buildingconservation #castle #castlerestoration #historicbuildings #historicstructures #cadw 📸 @studiostagg A very enjoyable day out for our office, visiting a number of our projects under construction including our Urban Nature Project for the @natural_history_museum followed by a wander up to see this years pavilion at the @serpentinegallery by @linaghotmeh_architecture and rounded off in customary fashion at a nearby watering hole 😀 #timeout #team #teamday #naturalhistorymuseum #constructionsite #serpentinegallery #serpentinepavilion Great to see our Angel Yard project with @jankatteinarch shortlisted in 2 categories for this years Structural Timber Awards. It was certainly a labour of love, finding practical ways to reuse the tired old garage structures on the site, combined with elegant and efficient timber additions to create new work and meeting spaces for the community, so we are very pleased that the project is getting the recognition that it deserves. 📸 @jackhobhouse #retrofit #repurposed #repurposedbuildings #timber #timberconstruction #timberbuildings #community Always an absolute pleasure when we have an excuse to visit our beautiful Secular Retreat project, by Peter Zumthor. No matter how many times we come here, it still takes your breath away 😍 #peterzumthor #rammedconcrete #structuralengineering #livingarchitecture #devon #structuralengineer #architecture Our entire office ventured to the charming city of Amsterdam for a few days last week on a study trip. We particularly enjoyed our exhausting but fascinating tour of unique bridge structures throughout the city and the innovative housing that we passed along the way. We might also have enjoyed some refreshments at the local hostelries from time to time 😉🍻 #amsterdam #studytrip #amsterdambridges #amsterdamcycling #cycling #dutchhousing #hetship #wozoco #borneosporenburg #silodam #pythonbridge #mx3dbridge #nesciobridge
