An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Our block has been levelled and cleaned! It is now level and clean! It is like an enormous, sandy, blank piece of paper. Let's build a house, shall we? Links to this post. Monday, April 26, 2010. Extra/ordinary architecture conference 2010 - on the subject of project housing. It is a brilliant and important piece of work and one that I encourage you to seek out and read, or browse, or simply marvel at. Among the discussio...

To follow those projects you can jump over to the studio website - David Weir Architects. And Instagram - @davidweirarch. Links to this post.

apartment house: floor update

http://aprtmnt.blogspot.com/2011/02/floor-update.html

An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Thursday, February 10, 2011. The builder has all but completed the resurfacing of the floors this morning. Originally intended to be a simple trowel-finished concrete surface, we have had to cover up some stains and mishaps that occurred during the build. The product used is a troweled on cementious mix, somewhat like a rough plaster finish, and maintains the movement and variation that a concrete floor has. February 10, 2011 at 7:03 PM.

apartment house: quick update

http://aprtmnt.blogspot.com/2011/02/quick-update.html

An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. The builder has given us a Date for Practical Completion of 18th February, due to the fact that we had to re-think and they had to re-do the entire floor of the house after it came out of the construction process stained, chipped and filthy. So the floors will no longer be a clear-finished, troweled concrete slab, but a trowel-finished 'X-bond' material (almost like a rough plaster finish, in a dark grey).

Well, it's a long overdue post, but I am very happy to report that the Apartment House is complete and we are all moved in! Thanks to the marvelous efforts from Steve Burdett, our engineer, the team at Donal Construction. And all the marvelous sub-contractors who worked on the job, we have a beautiful, happy home.

apartment house: May 2010

http://aprtmnt.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Bricks to plate height. The handy thing about building a house so small is that things happened very, very quickly. Within 3 days of brick-laying (including one day off for bad weather) the external walls of the apartment house area all but complete, and the bathroom is all but bricked-up. The steel columns to support the roof and the north facade are also in place. Links to this post. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Last night Z...

An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. I'm not going to write too much because it is the 23rd and I haven't even begun to prepare for Christmas celebrations, but here are some photos of the house as it stands today, including the beautiful and happy little garden planted by Zac in my absence. The Flame Tree is my Christmas present. Beautiful. Have a Happy Christmas and a safe New Year. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

An exercise in smallness or 'zac and david build a house'. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. That means the Apartment House is suitable for habitation.well, mostly. The floor isn't waterproof until Monday morning, which means we can't shower until then.but the beach is just down the road, so that won't stop us moving in. Links to this post. Thursday, February 10, 2011. We think it looks pretty darn smart, and it also means that a move-in date is just around the corner. Links to this post. Links to this post.
