It's great to see this article about the approval of our plans for Derby's Friar Gate Goods Yard in Architects’ Journal. Adam McPartland, Director of Glancy Nicholls Architects, said: “We are overjoyed that the required funds can now be invested into saving these distressed 150-year-old listed buildings. Glancy Nicholls Architects has proudly brought its expertise in restoration and retrofit design to visualise the sustainable future of two of Derby city centre’s most notable historic structures.   “From the outset, the overarching brief from Wavensmere Homes was for a huge emphasis to be placed on exemplary placemaking. By having a mix of commercial uses within the two buildings – and opening the inaccessible site up to create a series of new linear parks – hundreds of people will be able to appreciate these heritage assets on a daily basis.   “The designs for the 227 two- and three-bedroom townhouses that will surround the two listed buildings are bespoke. Curved and terraced street scenes will celebrate the beauty and vista of the Bonded Warehouse, while incorporating a range of energy saving technologies and strategies. "A four-storey apartment building containing 49 apartments will also reinstate the lost streetscape of the Stafford Street frontage. The highest EPC rating of A is being targeted for the new houses, with all plots designed to be future-proofed ahead of the 2025 Future Homes Standard.” Read Anna Highfield's article here: https://lnkd.in/e4FRthwd

Charter schools in Texas don’t receive any funding from local property taxes, which are the main source of capital investment funds for traditional school districts. An effective strategy to save construction dollars and project schedule is to use pre-engineered metal buildings as the structure behind the façade. Two of Element Architects + Interiors, YES Prep Public Schools and KIPP, are featured in this article from the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA). #DiscoverYourElement https://lnkd.in/g-D_pxN3

🏢 140+ Years of Reinforced Concrete History in One City 🌆 Two icons, one city. The Coignet Building, a pioneer and the oldest of its kind in New York, stands as a testament to the beginnings of reinforced concrete construction. Over 150 years ago, this historic structure in Brooklyn marked the dawn of a new era in building materials and techniques. Fast forward to the present day, and we witness the awe-inspiring One World Trade Center, not only the tallest in New York but across the entire United States. Its soaring height symbolizes architectural prowess and resilience, embodying a city's spirit. From the Coignet Building's early experiments to One World Trade Center's modern marvel, these two structures tell a compelling story of innovation, progress, and the evolution of construction techniques over more than a century. 📸 Let's marvel at the rich history and innovation encapsulated within these concrete giants that shape our skyline and continue to inspire generations of builders and architects. #ConcreteConstruction #ArchitecturalInnovation #NYCIcons #HistoricBuildings #ModernMarvels #ReinforcedConcreteHistory #RebarDetailing

Bringing buildings back to life Restoration of a listed building takes time - especially when the building has been abandoned for many years and is in poor condition. The building and structure need to be assessed historically and structurally in order to develop a comprehensive scheme for renovation. On this occasion this included site meetings with Heritage Consultants, Historic Carpentry Specialists and Planning Consultants to agree how best to preserve this fine 17th century farmhouse. Working alongside a specialist heritage consultants, archaeologists and structural engineers we have produced a comprehensive schedule of repairs - especially for the repair and retention of the timber frame and the painted brick infill panels - to be carried out during the refurbishment project returning this timber framed building to an attractive and comfortable dwelling once again. #architect #surveyor #buildingrestoration #restoration #listedbuildingrenovation #heritagepreservation #buildingreconstruction #studley #Alcester #architecturedesign #midlandsarchitects #survey #buildingsurvey
