As the Old House Project enters its final phase, join architect Mal Fryer and project manager Jonny Garlick to hear how environmental and other challenges have been tackled with sensitive new design. Learn how the sustainable rammed earth wall oak walkway links the new garage with the oldest doorway in the building, while acting as an acoustic shield for the site. Hidden for many years behind an open fireplace, the discovery of this ornately-carved doorway presented a new set of challenges for the project, which will also be discussed in this talk.
Topics covered:
New Design in the context of repair - the SPAB approach
