One of the advantages of working in the Architecture – Historic Preservation field is the opportunity to assess, stabilize, restore, and rehabilitate interesting and distinctive historic buildings and structures. Among our various services and diverse experiences is assessing the unique structure of log cabins. Log cabins use somewhat unusual building materials, employ a distinctive structural system, and simplified programmatic layouts all of which contribute to unique deterioration problems. Assessing a cabin includes determining the condition of the wood, overall structural stability, checking for insect and avian infestations and evaluating the horizontal spaces or joints between logs, known as chinking and daubing. Recently, AltusWorks assessed the condition of a log cabin where we performed a knife test to check the condition of the wood logs for rot and insect infestation as well as identified incompatible modern chinking and daubing replacement materials. We are proud to be involved in the preservation of all types of buildings and structures! Check out the photos below of our recent log cabin assessment.

Architectural Punctuation: The Houses of Water Punctuation marks are the symbols that shape written and spoken language. In this sense, I have chosen the term “Architectural Punctuation” to initiate my architectural dialogue with the world. I chose this title because punctuation marks are the points that differentiate, highlight, change, or redefine the meaning of a thought. Taking this one step further, I decided to create a collection of buildings with a contemporary and futuristic theme. One of the key issues that will affect the world is water and its management. I call the collection “The Houses of Water”.......https://lnkd.in/d5i9dBap
