A diminished midweek workforce and square pegs in round holes but all the rafters are up. #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
The joy of Japanese joinery. Six members seamlessly into one post #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
The morning after the day before. No work today, the rest of the rafters and boardwalks will be added in the week. #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
End of day 2 just before the light went. Only the final curved rafters to go of the primary structure #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
Main central frames complete, now starting on the side boardwalks #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
End of day one. Much progress made. The joints are fitting together beautifully, but the lack of daylight has closed play for the day. More progress photos tomorrow. #carpenter_oak #Tsugite #cambridgearchitecture #boathouse #riverarchitecture #bytheriver #ashworthparkes #carstructures #japanesejoinery #ribaeast #rivercam
Construction has started on our new boathouse project on the River Cam. The main structure has been designed interpreting Japanese carpentry techniques and will be held together without glue, or mechanical fixings. #carpenter_oak have cut all the timber and are managing the build on site. The works can be seen from Stourbridge Common and the Green Dragon bridge if you are in the area over the weekend.

Here is another image of the large new-build home that has recently received planning permission on a sensitive Conservation Area site in the centre of Cambridge.
The architectural language of the new house deliberately bears an exaggerated resemblance to the surrounding cluster of 1930s houses in what is a well protected little enclave of polite English Modernism, very close to the centre of the city.
The deep, sprocketed eaves and hipped plain tiled roof of the proposed house is very much a characteristic of the area and one that the planners wished to retain.
The walls are of a timber framed, brick construction sitting on a stone plinth. The copious use of stepped bullnose headers sitting proud of the face of the wall articulate the openings in the facade. The brickwork itself will be sack scrubbed with a lime mortar, a commonly used technique in Sweden and Norway. This will give a more homogenous feel to the surface of the masonry, toning it in with the stone, but also allow around 20% of the bricks to bleed through so one can still clearly see it is a brick building.
The windows are to be of a thermally broken steel frame with slender horizontal mullions, again emphasising the vernacular of this very particular part of the city.

We are delighted to have received planning permission for a large new-build home on a sensitive Conservation Area site in the centre of Cambridge.
The house sits on a large plot, adjacent to playing fields and consists of a large basement, 2 further floors plus accommodation in the roof and a single storey indoor swimming pool to the rear.

Short trip to New York? Lucky us. Actually it’s Glasgow where they are filming the new Indiana Jones film and done up to look like NYC in 1969 and ready for the ticker tape parade for the returning astronauts. The levels for detail is incredible. #indianajones #glasgow
How it’s going versus How it’s going to go ! The steelwork is now up on our fantastically tight little courtyard house in the centre of Cambridge. The spaces are beginning to emerge and the clients can begin to get a real sense of how their house will feel.
