Construction on the Applecrest site is progressing, with this unusually mild New England winter aiding in the effort. Incite’s excitement to design a new home is rewarded when the design comes to life and this home is no exception. Bringing a new house through the planning and design phase, from sketch to a thoughtful, well designed home, alongside the client and the builder, is the opportunity that all designers crave. Walls and roofs are coming together at Applecrest, and the form of the home is now seen from both the street façade and the rear yard. With an almost complete first floor shell, the framers have moved to the second floor and roof framing. Visits to the site provide opportunities to capture progress photos like these. Stay tuned for more construction updates.
What goes up...
Incite is designing a new restaurant and today, in the office, we are constructing mock ups of blackboards on two different pulley systems. These mock ups are helping us through design development of the movable system. We are testing the materials and mechanics that will allow the blackboards to move up and down as required by the users. Creating scaled mock ups allows us to bring sketch designs to reality by testing the physics and construction methods of a design. Although not exact replicas of the system to be used, the mock ups help to solve design dilemmas before full scale construction begins. Blackboards and other unique elements will be integrated into the design of the developing restaurant in Medford, MA. Stay tuned for updates on Incite’s design and construction progress. Now…to patch the office back up!
