Bob-tail … We (EcoArc) used this type on some of the units at the Lancaster Cohousing Project … if I remember correctly.

Thanks Nick. Yes, embodied energy and material choices. Huge concrete semi basement, a partial hangover from a protracted planning process. About 30%+ in atm on the course and getting more down to the nitty gritty I think - good! Best wishes to you too.

Sure, will let you know. The hope is that as well as learning some new things it will help consolidate knowledge + experience we have built up over time. VAT 😡. We just finished 1 PH nr Lancaster. Not particularly green unfortunately but still plenty of good bits. A couple more in the pipeline 🤞

Ah Drielandenpunt, classic! Cool. Hope your children are enjoying that (I can’t remember their ages). Not a bad summer over here. Some jobs on the house 😀, work ticking along. Quite a few smaller jobs atm. Partial retrofits , alterations and extensions. 4(!) of us here on the AECB CLR course. You?

Loooove Nijmegen. Both my sisters live there and my sister’s family. We were there last Summer for a week. Mooi rivieren landschap ook. Zevenaar, a small town near Arnhem was home. Limburgse Vlaai 😋. Heerlijk met een bakkie koffie ☕️. Enjoy your time in Maastricht! Bonnefantenmuseum ….?

Yes, the embodied energy is very high. But does deliver a beautiful and long lasting product. Used right, a little can go a long way. Wij hadden thuis een metaalwaren fabriek waar we ook geperforeerde droogplaten maakten voor de baksteen industrie. Testing your Dutch 😉. Ah België ❤️….

Hoi Nick. Wat leuk om van je te horen!
Thanks for sharing that. I really like the use of brick in that (decorative…) way with patterns, relief and textures. An appreciation of the uses of brick in building and landscaping triggered my interest in architecture early on I think.

Cool. That looks sooo Dutch! I had not come across her name before, nor external window seats for that matter (as far as I can remember…). Nice thought.

Great! Excited for you. The frame itself + connection to floor slab or otherwise will be well taken care of in terms of airtightness I am sure. Good luck with the whole project and I look forward to seeing more of it down the line !

Excellent, well done! Is that an Eden Frame going up? Will be a Passive House surely….

Here is another fine example of a CPO residential development in Nijmegen which includes the conversion of a disused school building. bouwenineigenbeheer.nl/project/de-g...

This is really good

Veel geluk voor volgende week! I would love to do that one sometime.
