Architect in the House

I am currently involved in a scheme organised jointly by the RIBA, whereby architects give an hour of their time in return for a donation to Shelter. I have signed up to see about a dozen people, but since I’m under pressure to produce two sets of working drawings in about a month, I’m wondering what I’ve let myself in for.

We’re going to be moving house and office and I’ve started designing my wife’s new studio, which is going to be arched hemp and lime construction. I’m working out the geometry using hanging chains, and when it’s sorted out I’ll be posting some photos.

If you know anyone who is thinking of building anything, you could ask them if they’re interested in saving money and saving the world, and tell them about Ecologgia.
