The pioneering use of limestone bricks marks out Draper Studio’s rear and side extension to a Victorian house in a Hackney conservation area https://t.co/xF6x9BBPbv

@TomBooen @RIBAJ You are welcome. Thanks for the interest in the project and enquiry. A challenge in itself at this scale, so appreciate the kind words.

@TomBooen @RIBAJ 2/2 The assertion that the foundations are bigger (wider in this case) is not correct. 600mm foundations regardless. The stone bricks effectively apply eccentric load with trade offs counteracted by the shape of the ground beam. The shelf that’s always going to be there was used

@TomBooen @RIBAJ Hi Tom, I don’t disagree about quantities here. You are right that the outer leaf of block and render. The render especially was an addition on site as the blockwork wasn’t up to standard to be visible through the stone brick perforations. 1/2

@seanw_m @Groupwork_arch @adamcchang Sean, really love your enthusiasm and incisive mind to consider that asking stone cutters to (re?) tool as opposed to the modular clay products industry to mine, pulverise, clamp and fire is an easier solution to making a high quality brick.

@Groupwork_arch Or caress the moss in this case.

@andymatthews Maximus ferrous claddus!

@josephkazUK @adm_bn Sounds like a case for @Groupwork_arch to re-solve…

@wandscycling @London_Cycling @wandbc Surely an easy win if for the council to allow cycling in parks? Try to get from Streatham to the Thames with a young child riding. Huge swathes of parkland denied to cycling.

@adm_bn An arm and a leg?

[Adam Draper @_Adam_Draper]

@Groupwork_arch What could go wrong, eh?

[Adam Draper @_Adam_Draper]

@SamHain55 @djjmilner @tomhfh Guessing the projection was a mock-up / test section of the ‘new’ facade? Some strapping gives this away?

[Adam Draper @_Adam_Draper]

@andymatthews Wheely great move…

@Groupwork_arch @joshuamings Go big on the highway to hell!
