Insulated concrete formwork corbel
December 2019
This is one of the structure and envelope projects we have been involved with. We have included it here because it demonstrates the versatility of the technology we have developed.
Our technology is applicable anywhere where a high degree of precision, speed and complex geometry make manual cutting expensive, time consuming and high risk. Here we supplied CNC cut plywood formwork to create a corbel in the concrete core of an ICF retaining wall. The contractor was able to assemble this in a day (in the mud and the rain) ready for the in-situ concrete pour.
It is interesting to understand that it is the exact same technology used here, that powers our highly finished cabinetry and second fix joinery projects.

Chapel Loftbed
This loft bed was designed as a highly specific response to the spatial and heritage constraints of a Grade II* listed Methodist chapel, recently converted into a private home. The client wanted to introduce a guest sleeping space, but subdivision of the main volume was not permitted as part of the approved conversion. The solution had to be inventive, functional, and visually appropriate to the character of the historic building.
Chapel Stair
This spiral staircase forms a focal element of a new home within a sympathetically converted Grade II* listed Methodist chapel, originally built in 1752. A key condition of this reuse was the retention of the chapel’s triple-height volume, requiring any new intervention to be respectful of the historic fabric and the original plan form. The new stair rises from an existing mezzanine into a newly habitable roof space, threading a precise path past original timber beams, preserving headroom and access routes of the existing mezzanine while aligning with the upper floor geometry.
