A4 Architecture started a blog more than 10 years ago when the concept of a web log (or “Blog” for short) was a novel and unusual thing, particularly for an architect. Back then, building owners still found their architects by looking in the “yellow pages”, which is something people under twenty years-old may not even remember seeing. In that time the world has moved online in a VERY big way and people use the computer to search, evaluate and select everything from a cup of coffee to an architec

Architecture began when primitive mankind put a branch between two posts and then hung it with leaves to try to keep the rain out. Some of the Iroquois Long Houses were just long branches bent into an arch and then covered in bark. The desire to keep the water out and the heat in is a battle that humankind continues to fight this very day. The issue of roofs is essential to the success of just about every piece of building ever created.

Wood works The church at Hughley looks charming from the outside – it’s very small, without any architectural separation between nave and chancel, and has a wooden medieval porch and one of those timber-framed bellcotes that nearly always make a small church look picturesque. None of this compares one for the building’s great treasure: the internal division between nave and chancel is effected with a wooden screen of great craftsmanship and beauty, a work of art more delicate and sophisticated t

When working with an architect to design a custom home, the second phase of the design process is called Schematic Design. This is when the building starts to take shape through a series of design exercises that test out the goals and requirements established during the pre-design programming phase. Schematic Design is iterative. The architect will typically start by showing a single, or several, options for a floor plan or overall configuration for the lot and for the house.

I was pleased to find it when we returned to the town the other day because it’s a nice example of a small late-19th century tower brewery. There are still quite a few Victorian breweries around,* but many smaller ones like this have disappeared, prey to takeovers and the large-scale corporatisation of Britain’s brewing industry which was tur
