- Features
Client's request for no diagonal bracing and lack of horizontal timber ties internally required clever use of concealed steel flitch plates and connections
As part of a complete renovation of three old school buildings into a habitable and functional family home, this client’s architects, Blueprint Architecture, included a glazed extension in the plans.
We had worked with the design team on a previous collaboration, so they approached us to provide the timber frame for this incredible addition.
