The Construction of a New Home from Start to Finish Part 2

12) Materials

A collection of old bridge beams and railway sleepers which are to be used as Lintels, as well as part of the paving and landscaping system.

13) 14) and 15) Framing

Here we have an overview of all the framing and the house in its entirety.
It is beginning to take shape.
Note on shot 13) the tower above the entrance is in place and in the later photos it is not.

Designers and owners don’t always agree but it is only opinions at the end of the day and your design shouldn’t have to stand up on just one feature.

Design is always a series of compromise, from budgets to availability, timeframes and opinions.

The designer’s job is to follow the brief ensuring that the client is looked after (even sometimes saving them from themselves) and if compromise is needed to achieve that then to be professional you should do so.

16) 17) and 17A) Linings

Taken from the same view as 6) the framing is now being lined with building paper and the roof is on.
Note the pitched or vaulted ceiling and the rough sawn board effect.
The board was placed so that the owner and designer could experiment with the look and finish.

As a designer don’t be afraid to review your design as construction takes place.
Often new materials or ways of achieving a look need careful consideration and inspection while being built.
Nearly all project managers would throw their hands up in despair at this thought but timing and budget can be considered and planned to take this work into consideration as long as it is done before the construction contract is let.

18) Ceiling

Another view of the finish to the vaulted ceiling.

19) and 20) Linings

The home is starting to take on a three-dimensional form as the roofing goes on and the walls are starting to be lined.

21) On Site Antics

The owner and builder keep a wary eye on the designer let loose with a camera.
