The material you choose can also significantly impact the longevity, aesthetics, and overall performance of your structure. Two options that often stand out and provide extra protection are powder-coated aluminum and coil-coated steel, but what’s the difference? Both offer excellent protection and aesthetic appeal, so understanding their differences is crucial for making informed decisions in various applications.

Meanwhile in the workshop.... The walls for Llama Croft are underway! 🧱🌲 When designing a Passivhaus, very high levels of insulation, airtightness and minimal thermal bridging are key. Using a combination of flexible and rigid insulation is a cost effective way of increasing insulation and reducing thermal bridging - the flexible stuff (in this case loose fill Cellulose) can go within the structure between studs and the rigid boards (in this case Woodfibre) can wrap around the outside of the structure, creating a surface to render onto, and reducing the cold bridge of the structure. In order to create more space for the Cellulose insulation, a 'deeper' structure is needed. There are a few ways of doing this and here, we have chosen to use a 'Larsen Truss' which is a twin-stud timber frame, with an inner structural stud and an outer stud, connected with some plywood gussets. This creates lots of space for insulation with reduced contact between inner and outer studs, reducing thermal bridging. This is the system used by 'Broadaxe Timber Frames' who are detailing, building and erected the frame for the house 👌🪵🪓 The walls are being as panels off-site for better quality and will be erected on-site before being filled with, and covered in insulation. There is an inner layer of coated OSB board (propassiv), which is the structural sheathing and airtightness layer, along with an insulated service-cavity to reduce penetrations through the airtight layer. Here are photos we took some weeks back when visiting the workshop with @firthconstruction & Broadaxe Timber Frames' Great to see the pile of timber studs that are being transformed into a house!

As the pioneer in architectural aluminum solutions, we continue to set new standards in curtain wall system design. Combining the high thermal performance of the 1600UT System™1 Curtain Wall with the screw spline system of the 1600 SS Curtain Wall System, our new 1600UT SS Curtain Wall System delivers ultra-thermal performance with faster installation. This system offers the benefits of a semi-unitized frame construction and has been tested to meet the latest seismic standards. The 1600UT SS will enter the scene with an overall frame U-factor of 0.29 while using standard 1” glass/COG 0.24. For markets with additional thermal needs, this system can achieve an overall frame U-factor of .25 with 1" glass/COG 0.20. Coming soon. #Kawneer #BuildingLegacies #Architecture #CurtainWall

This is the best safest option for glass to use. 17.52mm with an SGP vinyl. Glass broke as expected with your standard point fixings, however the strength of the SGP vinyl keeps it from falling over. #balustrade #frameless #architecture #architect #glassbalustrades #glassrailing #Engineering #aaamsa #NextLevel #glass #impacttest

🔊 Does anyone still need to be introduced to our Karrier system? But if there is anyone who does not know the main features of our system based on load-bearing panels for transferring loads from the external cladding, we encourage you to take a look below: ■ Simple solution: alternative to traditional and multi-component ventilated façade systems. ■ High load-bearing capacity: allows the installation of external claddings up to 40 kg/m². ■ Design variety: allows the installation of many claddings, i.e. prefabricated aluminium cassettes Dri-Design, ACM, fibre-cement, ceramic and expanded mesh. ■ Installation speed: the panels enable simple and quick assembly and reduce construction time. ■ Design flexibility: installation of the system both vertically and horizontally. ■ High insulation performance: minimise thermal bridges thanks to special locks and QuadCore®, IPN or K-Roc®. #architecture #architects #project #design #kingspan #kingspanfacades #architecturalfacadesystems #Karrier #Karrierpanel #Karriersystem

Our final design for a Pavilion floating on ice. Architectural Form as an Expression of Nature Inspired by the fluid motion of a river beneath ice, the pavilion’s vaulted arches echo the graceful curves of water, blending form and function. Hyperbolic shapes efficiently distribute forces, while dark steel contrasts against the winter landscape, amplifying the sense of movement. Modular Design for Efficiency Crafted from four identical blackened steel sections, the modular design reduces material costs and simplifies construction. Prefabricated components are bolted together for quick assembly, relocation, or reuse—an approach rooted in sustainability. Durable & Environmentally Sensitive Resting on concrete pedestals that minimize impact on the landscape, the pavilion stands resilient in harsh climates. With efficient material use, reusable formwork, and adaptability, this design embodies sustainable construction and circular design principles. #ArchitecturalDesign #SustainableArchitecture #ModularDesign #NatureInspired #PavilionDesign #HyperbolicForm #SteelArchitecture #WinterArchitecture #CircularDesign #Prefabrication #ModernStructures #ArchitectsOfInstagram #DesignInspiration

When architecture is designed in harmony with nature, it creates a soothing and relaxing environment . 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 - Marina Bay Sands, Singapore - Designed by Ned Kahn 🌬 The facade of a cooling tower was covered with 1͟0͟,͟0͟0͟0͟ hinged metal channels that fill with water and tip either left or right. When they tip they spill water into the center of the channel below which then tips either left or right. The result is a complex and unpredictable dance of water and metal where each element alters the behavior of the elements surrounding it .  also aids the functioning of the cooling tower by mixing water with air and cooling the water which gets recycled back into the system . #architecture #kainetic #design #facade #architecturelovers #architecturedesign #wall #water #bim

When iron came in architecture design? Refinements developed during the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century made cast iron relatively cheap and suitable for a range of uses, and by the mid-19th century it was common as a structural material (and sometimes for entire buildings), and particularly for elaborately patterned architectural elements ... Wikipedia Based on the building I liked and the style I advocated here, I do not prefer to use metal in our architectural design... What do you think about aesthetics metal and iron in architecture design?

Architects often ask us the question: Does your fiber cement panels fade over time?🤔 Our EQUITONE facade panels does not fade! On the contrary, they beautifully patinate over the years, adding depth and character to the building's appearance. Just look at these photos from a construction project in 2008. Our panels are UV-resistant, and that's one of the reasons why the facade panels develop a uniform patina over time. Therefore, you can assuredly choose EQUITONE facade panels for your next building project without worrying about unwanted changes in appearance.
