Live Projects Network

It’s a delight to be published as part of the Live Projects Network, alongside other brilliant schemes that explore full-size construction, and showcase live-build. Find us here, in the Live Projects Network depositary.

Building on existing and emerging relationships with other institutional live project contexts, the Live Projects Network is an online resource to become a critical point of reference to connect students, educators, clients, practitioners and researchersinvolved in live projects. The aims are to promote the use of live projects in education, share best practice, encourage dialogue and also contribute to the establishment of a theoretical basis for the study of live projects.

… above us only stars!

Last week we had the opportunity to take full advantage of clear-blue skies, cloud free landscapes, and settled evening weather. What better way to document our work so far, than capturing it in the night sky. This offering of shelter in such a rural vacant landscape is accented by candlelight in some alluring long exposures.

It’s all in the detail

… they say the devil is in the detail!

This week we’re talking details, connections, and junctions as we make finishing touches. Architect and designer Charles Eames, said “the details are not the details, they make the design”. For, architecture is space, in which there are many boundaries, connections, and opportunities to direct movement. We explore this very carefully using salvaged and carefully sourced Scottish timbers to create further decking, a delightful hanging swing, and the most comfortable toilet seat! Think loo with a view. Think salvaged Opepe. Think ultimate ergonomics.

We’re back : Finishing Touches

This week we’re back on site with fellow friends working hard coordinating ‘Finishing Touches Week’. Follow the developments on our blog, Facebook page, or Twitter account.

Also, why not check out our Gallery Media which is ever growing with great photos of our projects, and work so far…

Cooking up something good!

This weekend we’ve been staying at the Skye Shelter bothy making some improvements, drawing inspiration, and making plans in our newly formed kitchen.

We’re putting ideas in motion, and developing new proposals… which include a ‘Finishing Touches Week’ this year!
