Happy World Environment Day from GMGR! Refurbing, Reusing and No Landfills: Sustainable Renovation with 3M DI-NOC Architectural Finishes. World Environment Day is calling for a sustainable refresh! Ditch the wasteful demolition and breathe new life into your space with 3M DI-NOC Architectural Finishes. Imagine transforming your tired walls, cabinets, or even ceilings. DI-NOC offers a treasure trove of over 1000 designs, letting you recreate the rich warmth of wood grain, the cool elegance of stone, or the sleek modernity of metal. All this, without ripping out the originals and sending them to landfills. Think fast installation, minimal mess, and a dramatic transformation – that's the DI-NOC difference. Plus, these finishes are built to last, resisting scratches, stains, and even mildew. They're not just beautiful, they are a responsible choice for the planet.. . . . .

Design and delivery of a new residential project in Midlothian, Scotland. We were appointed to create a family home out of a derelict steading hidden in the rolling hills of the Scottish countryside. The new building looks to engage with the rural vernacular through form with contemporary lines that orientate the building towards key sightlines and connect it to the surrounding landscape.   The timber cladding, supplied by Russwood, accentuates the steading character with black timber creating a bridge between the traditional and contemporary architecture. Products used, Thermopine with black Teknos coating & Siberian Larch with natural SiOO:X coating.   The interior design is purposefully subtle and seeks to complement the architecture with large format glazing, hidden doors and tactile materials. A simple palette is employed of hard-wearing natural finishes including timber panelling and reclaimed stone from site applied to a double height feature fireplace which anchors the interior to create an interconnected modern living environment. Building orientation was carefully considered to maximise daylight and passive solar gain on the site. Triple glazed windows, air source heat pumps, high insulation levels and balanced mechanical ventilation and heat recovery are some of the systems utilised to ensure an environmentally positive impact.   Structure Engineers Narro Associates.

The UK construction strategy to have Buildings with Thermal Balance against their different Weather conditions and still have a Beautiful Aesthetic Facade involves the Knowledge based technical use of Purposeful materials at different distances of Wall layers. This timeless Architectural construction has different wall layers of AAC block, Red brick , Insulation Rock wool , Interior Board cover Cladding and Facade Exterior Hard wood Cladding.

Custom Home design for the 21st century: On an existing urban lot - Four simple rectangles, all raised above the ground on caissons to both accommodate for difficult soils and to reduce our concrete consumption by approx. 65%. The house has almost as much exterior living space as it does interior, and has enough roof area to hold (and hide) a photovoltaic system large enough to power several houses within the neighborhood - thus acting as a micro power plant for the city grid. The exteriors finishes are designed to be both energy-efficient and low-maintenance - exterior cladding consisting of phenolic panels (applied as a rain-screen) and metal panels, with a standing-seam metal roof - therefore, no paint is used on the exterior walls. Window walls are commercial-grade thermally-broken aluminum windows - no paint, no trim, not maintenance, but full views. ......... because we care about how we re-invent our cities and neighborhoods.

The style of roof you choose for your steel building is a good example of a design choice. Here’s a quick overview of some of the available roof style options. https://lnkd.in/gFng8rw9

Top Reasons Why Aluminium Cladding Panels Make Beautiful Buildings Chris Miller There are several reasons to add aluminium cladding panels to the construction process, but one that stands out is how these panels can easily transform any building. With various designs, patterns, and overall durability, those panels are the last pieces of a building’s aesthetic jigsaw puzzle. But it’s not just about slapping some panels on […] https://ift.tt/1wZrKT4

A type III superstructure with the profile of concrete slab, in order to control cost while pushing design. Alternating facade grids and kitchens that don’t stack, for the sake of more interesting and expansive living rooms integrated with a bold facade. Full height glazing terminate as semi screened patios begin. No visible drop ceilings, despite various drains to capture water on the shifting balconies. A harmony of design and construction coordination, especially between MEPs and structural. Joist design as critical as finish selection. Everything must work together. Not easy, but the scaffolds are down. The building begins to reveal its identity. The neighborhood begins to notice. Hopefully, it’s win for everybody. Here’s to the builders who build.

Casa Garrofer 🌞 Work is currently in progress on waterproofing sloping roofs, including installations for zenithal lighting and drainage. All the planters have been fitted with water drainage systems prior to waterproofing. The parapets are ready to be fitted with decorative lattices. The flat roof has already been fitted with drains and slopes, and work is underway on the external staircase that provides access to it (metal support structure for the brick staircase thread). All exterior carpentry frames are in place, and work is ongoing on waterproofing the guttering. The location of the wood-burning fireplace has just been decided upon, and we are developing a decorative solution for the flue, which integrates seamlessly with the general vision of the house. Façade and interior wall finishes are being tested in order to determine the colors and textures. On the plot, we are working on the access walls.
