Charles W. Day Design’s Post

Integrity is such a loaded word, isn't it? It goes beyond mere honesty and asks of a person to ALWAYS do the right thing, even when nobody is looking. In architecture, integrity is not just a value—it’s literally (and figuratively) its foundation because client safety and trust hinge on it. From the design itself to the way we communicate with our clients, all of it needs to be led by an unwavering moral compass. "Total honesty" in design includes: 🏗 Exposing structural elements to show a building's true form. 🏞 Using local, sustainable materials that respect the environment. 🌿 Designing to complement the local landscape. 💬 Being transparent in our communication with clients, so every decision is clear. 💡 Working with natural elements like light, space, and ventilation to enhance comfort. ♻️ Prioritising energy-efficient solutions to boost sustainability. 🎯 Focusing on clean, purposeful design that avoids unnecessary ornamentation. 🧱 Choosing high-quality materials to ensure durability and timelessness.

Homestar doesnt need to involve a bigger and more expensive design team, there are Architectural Designers who are also Homestar Professionals who can make your Homestar process easier and more cost effective.  Book a Chat to discuss your Homestar Project.  https://lnkd.in/g5Xme6F7 #buildingbetter #homestar #sustainability

https://lnkd.in/e7U8m42s As a long service member of the tile industry, I have seen huge developments, from the early days of Quarry tiles and salt and pepper porcelain tiles. Life seemed simple then.....But always the need to get the products closer to natural materials like stone and marble was the over riding factor for manufacturing. As we move into 2025 the gap is ever closing to achieve that porcelain version to capture the essence of real stone. Massive leaps have been rewarding the UK market from our suppliers over the past 4 years with new technology to make this a reality. Next generation material is here and at Pyro + Echo we launched Edge, a superb look at the technology of factories across Europe that have taken an ecological, technical, aesthetic, sustainable and practical view that the real material can only do so much while still available, when porcelain can offer so much more and will in the future. I'm privileged to have met with factories across many countries developing methods to make this so. A most rewarding development that keeps the passion for the future of growth in porcelain surfaces.

This question was asked to us during an interview. We are answering it today ⬇️ Materials are the essence of the structure, the way it is composed, the thickness, textures, and look of it create the tale in the mind of the user to interact or avoid it. At the same time functionality plays a role in guiding spatial planning. Our design approach is simplicity. We play with old and new materials like bamboo and clay to create timeless designs with the precision and efficiency of modern construction. At CLA, Bamboo, and Earth are core materials for us to start our work. They are not just building materials but they are the cornerstones of our vision for sustainable spaces. The capacity to naturally regulate temperature, provide insulation, and create a pleasing environment with modern techniques defines the style of our work. They are durable, long-lasting, and, most importantly, they connect us to the earth in a way that industrial materials cannot. #lifearchitecture #bambooarchitecture #sustainablearchitecture #bamboo #ecodesign #ecofriendly #resortdesign #resortdesigners #sustainabledesign #adobe #bamboodesign #rammedearth #wattleanddaub #naturalmaterials

Why I love design? 🖤 Because good design changes our life for better. Everything around us was at some point designed by someone. I guess we rarely thing about it. But that's the beauty of technology. Design and technology are best friends. Designers are people who live in the future, but they design things in the presence., shaping reality. The foundation of is critical. Once you understand the principles and realize that we design for humans, the substance is secondary (buildings, furniture, digital, etc.). PS Dear architects and urban planners, this is how you slow down cars, not speed bumps. #design #architecture #urbanism

If you're an architect, designer, or someone that is asked the question 'Should I get a Hot Tub?' then this article on the true cost should be useful. Energy bills was just one of the costs to consider that features in this article written by our MD, Carla Massey. When incorporating a hot tub into a project, recommending models with superior insulation, energy-efficient pumps, and smart controls ensures clients enjoy long-term savings while enhancing their outdoor spaces. It’s about designing for sustainability and luxury—creating spaces that are as efficient as they are stunning. 👉 Discover more in Carla’s full article here: https://shorturl.at/SHveO #HotTubsOxfordshire #ArchitecturalDesign #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableLuxury

🚨 New Blog Post Alert! 🚨 At National Sign Corporation, we know that signage is more than just a nameplate—it’s an extension of a building's identity.
