The first of the bespoke lead hoppers are on site having finished the process of sand casting. The hoppers have been designed in house and modelled by Francis to create a plaster mould from which to create a sand cast template. Below are the process photos from design to finished product.
Progress is going well on site with the build of the main house now up to second floor ready for the roof structure to go in. The out buildings are nearing completion with the only external feature remaining being frameless glass projecting window. The pool hall the roof is now ready for felting and tiling with the joists in place. We think the alignment of the tie rod trusses is spot on! This project is looking like it will be truly spectacular.
We recenlty recieved photographs of progress on Rosslyn. This new build dwelling is being constructed as a self build project within Green Belt land outside Liverpool.
The house is constructed with 170mm Structurally instulated panels to speed up the early stages of construction and provide a high level of thermal performance. The house is heated by a groundsource heat pump that provides heat from boreholes in the garden to the underfloor heating system. Large areas of glazing are used on both sides of the living area to maximise daylight and connect the internal and external spaces.
It looks like the clients are doing a great job and we hope to see further progress pictures as the rendering process is now underway.
Keep up the good work!
