It’s been over a week that I’ve had the website for Modece Architects open in my browser. I really enjoyed the website – it feels like an authentically green site – one that actually walks the walk. Particularly I’ve browsed back and forth endlessly in the sustainable-construction gallery which has been quite an eye opener. For example …
This image hints at the potential of using quality timber framing together with hemp construction – which I was just wondering about…
or this image that demonstrates that loose hemp!!! can be used in floor insulation:
… or this image of a do-it-yourself solar panel:
… honestly, every picture in their gallery is like a magical doorway into knowledge.
But what really tickled my fancy was that as I was revisiting that must read book on hemp-lime construction I recommended a while back – I made the connection that the hand-drawn illustrations starting on page 31 were contributed by Ralph Carpenter of Modece Architects … and I am thinking “yeah, that’s the website I’ve got open in my browser” … so it seems that the world of hemp-lime construction is still a nice and intimate community đŸ™‚ Great fun!!!
