This image from the building phase of a new campus, to the east of the existing campus, shows the render and cladding panels which have been installed on to the steel framed construction base.
Presence of beds in garden indicates furnished let perhaps. The earliest documented house bearing stone cladding seen by me so far...1859 with fine house name tablet of the period. The manorial door and leaded light window panes along with the stone cladding is a welcome relief in what is quite a desert for this style of moderisation in London.

Fraser Brown MacKenna Architects have won planning permission for a development of 234 student rooms and a nursery in a sensitive location on the edge of two conservation areas in Hammersmith. The site on Paddenswick Road lies within the mainly residential Ravenscourt Park area of Hammersmith and adjoins two conservation areas. The existing building dates from the early twentieth century and was used as a police section house until 1996 and since that time as a hostel.
Initially a retrofit option was explored, however the number of internal level changes would be costly to resolve and the poor thermal quality of the building envelope meant retaining the façade was unviable. It was decided that in the long-term, the more sustainable option would be to redevelop the site; however the existing buildings remained a key design driver.
Ravenscourt House provided an obvious starting point; the volume and articulation of the hostel was an established and admired feature of the townscape and while the façade could not be retained, we were keen to carry through the relevant and positive attributes to inform the language of the new buildings, particularly through the detailing of the brickwork.
Our proposals are arranged into three volumes of reducing height, the tallest on the principal frontage to Paddenswick Road, linked together at ground floor level. This simplified plan responds to the surrounding grain and creates a slender profile to each of the buildings, with landscaped courtyards between that enhance views and maximize natural light. Whilst the overall height of the new building is lower than the existing hostel, the new development offers more accommodation; 234 self-contained studio bedrooms together with communal facilities and a nursery for the adjoining John Betts Primary School.
The design of the new buildings is a contextual response. We developed an architectural language that draws on recognizable characteristics of the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian buildings but does not seek to imitate particular styles. Brick is the principal material, with changes in tone and different bonds used to create subtle variations between the three volumes.
The principal frontage to Paddenswick Road is the most dynamic. A white ground floor plinth gives way to three floors of highly modelled brickwork with projected headers within the Flemish Bond. This energy is enhanced through chamfered window surrounds and two storey projecting bays. The double height windows provide a strong vertical emphasis; an echo of the former Section House. The fourth and fifth storeys are less heavily modelled and capped by a band of intricately detailed brickwork with the headers removed, announcing the material change to the uppermost storeys which are clad in zinc and recessed from the main footprint.
The frontage to John Betts Primary School provides a new nursery on the ground floor, accessible from the school grounds; its entrance announced by a slender canopy. Two storeys of highly modelled buff London Stock brick are set under the uppermost storey, clad in zinc – the proportions and material treatment respecting the neighbouring building, a former school house. High level windows allow natural light into the corridors but avoid overlooking the playground.
Appointed by Abanar LLP and South Street Asset Management, Fraser Brown MacKenna secured a resolution to grant planning permission from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in August 2011

A woman passes in front of a window that opens up to the cladding on the exterior of the African-American Museum in DC.
When patrons descend the escalator from the third to the second floor, they pass through a concourse along the north side, and that concourse is up against this open view. The cladding is along the entire exterior of the museum, and from the inside, it makes for some interesting lighting effects.

Grinzing
Grinzinger village church, sky road (Himmelstraße)
To 1891 independent vintner community, since then part of the 19th district of Vienna, since 1114 a large village. Named after the personal name Grinco, by the Turks and the Frenche several times destroyed, in the 19th century vintner location, excursion site and a summer resort, today well-known Heurigenort (numerous wine taverns). Townscape with village character (under monument protection) in a valley between vine-clad foothills of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods).
Due to Emperor Probus, already in 276 AD the first vines were planted on the hills around Grinzing. This botanical avocation of Roman legionaries brought the little village at the gates of Vienna prosperity and much, much later even international fame - because in this graceful landscape grows an excellent wine! To get away occasionally with all military conflicts of the last 700 years, the Grinziger winemakers laid underground escape routes to their wine cellars, them bringing even to their beloved Grinzinger church.
Alley behind the "Old Preßhaus (winepress house)"
The former "Old Preßhaus", Grinzing's oldest wine tavern, too, had a passage under the earth. Since 1527 in the mighty, impressive cellar the "young wine" was ausgeschenkt (poured out or served). In front of a magnificent 250 year old wine press and large, old barrels one here could experience Heurigengemütlichkeit (wine tavern comfortableness). This typical Viennese form of companionableness, since the times of Maria Theresa officially as "Winery" designated, is for the Viennese a small, timeless piece of luck.
Grinzing
Cobenzlgasse
Grinzing was a separate municipality until 1892 and is now a part of Vienna in the 19th District of Vienna Döbling and one of the 89 Vienna Katastralgemeinden (cadastral communities).
Grinzing is in the northwest of Vienna and it is with an area of 613.52 ha the largest part of the district Döbling. In the northeast it borders on the Josefsdorf, then the border runs along the Wildgrube and the Schreiberbach (brook) to the east and then branches off along the Springsiedelgasse and the Neugebauerweg to the south.
Grinzing in winter
Along the hunger mountain road (Hungerbergstraße) the border to Unterdöbling follows the course of the Kaasgraben, Grinzing from Sievering separating. Over the Road to Heaven (Himmelstraße) and the Spießweg the border finally runs in a north-westerly direction to the city limits, Grinzing from Weidling (Lower Austria) separating.
Cobenzlgasse
Grinzing is in large areas marked of wooded ridges of the Vienna Woods. At the border to Lower Austria is also the highest mountain of Vienna, the Hermannskogel. In addition, here are some very well-known mountains like Reisenberg, Latisberg, Vogelsangberg, Hunger Mountain (Hungerberg) and Pfaffenberg. In the parts of the Grinziger Vienna Woods are also several streams, such as the Schreiberbach in Wildgrube which runs unspoilt until shortly before Nußdorf. Additionally, originates to the west of the Reisenberg the Reisenbergbach (which from the border of the village is administered as stream channel) and in the western part of Grinzing lies the headwaters of the Arbesbach. Another characteristic of Grinzing are also the remaining vines, which are found especially on Reisenberg and Hungerberg.
Road to Heaven/Cobenzlgasse
Besides the numerous wine taverns in particular the Grinziger church and the Kaasgrabenkirche (church) are worth seeing. In the expansive part of the Vienna Woods is also based the Habsburgwarte on the Hermannskogel, the Karl Lueger Memorial, the restaurant "Cobenzel" on Reisenberg, as well as the romantic forest-Biedermeier cemetery on the slopes of Mount Kahlenberg, amongst other things, with the graves of the "most beautiful woman of the Congress of Vienna" as well as various high aristocrats of the era of Metternich. A special treasure represents the organ in the parish church of Grinzing.
On the Grinzinger cemetery are the graves of Gustav Mahler, Alma Mahler-Werfel, Attila Hörbiger, Paula Wessely, Peter Alexander, Heimito von Doderer, Ida Krottendorf and Thomas Bernhard.

The wine taverns
Winery "Bach Hengl", Sandgasse
The history of the Viennese wine tavern actually goes back to the Roman Emperor Probus, who allowed his legionaries wine cultivation in the provinces in the year 276. In the Middle Ages also there are numerous sources that relate to the wine, such as a clerk, who advised his contemporaries" never to drink at a stretch more than six measures (liters) as the temperance is a really godly virtue".
Certainly, at that time, one was not yet driving with the car... No medieval ruler adopted that many laws regarding the wine, the cultivation of wine and the wine law as Charlemagne.
Winery "Bach Hengl", Sandgasse
Another Emperor, Joseph II of Habsburg, in 1784 finally created the first generally accepted statutory basis for the wine tavern, according to which each wine grower (Weingärtner) was allowed pour out self-produced juice of the grape.
The word Heuriger has a double meaning and means both the wine of the last harvest, in November of the following year becoming the 'old' one, and the place where you drink it.
Winery "Berger", Road to Heaven
Currently in Vienna of about 300 winemakers on 700 hectares viticulture is operated. 90 percent of Viennese wine harvest of about 30,000 hectoliters are white wine, the rest red wine: a total of 12 million quarters.
Very desirable town house, an ideal Olympic games let. Perhaps this is a project that never got finished? And rather a modern house to receive the clad-over.

The end wall is of original yellowish brick, as next door. The classical forms around the door make this somewhat unexciting piece of cladding more interesting. Unusually the porch entrance has also been clad in stone. Sadly, the classical baluster motif has been excised from the tableau above the doorway.

This time I took my tripod as I wandered around the Broley barn again on a hot day when I caught sight of this particular spot that had been clad with corrugated metal for protection from the weather, grin! I admit that I am still looking Broley's over to try to get my seeing ability untracked. Decisions! I may yet visit again even before the weather cools in the fall. I think that the skies have to turn better and the smoke clears first. That might be any day after June this year. Nobel physicists from N.C.A.R. have pointed out the complications of the ratio between record highs and record lows that never changed much up through the seventies even through the dust bowl. One scientist mentioned the evil words "Global Warming." I expect that "Romoney" and the righties have their own reasons why the high records are so badly balanced today. Fantasy no doubt. The 2010-11 result was supposedly 2.8 times over what ought to be an even ratio. Two N.C.A.R. scientists claim it is now 10:1, 11:1 or 13.5:1 imbalance. It chills my blood (if only something could). One scientist said: get ready regardless of what the politicians tell you! We've already burned more of New Mexico and Colorado than ever before and now Montana is going up and we here are sending "special" storms to you folks out east. If only putting more petroleum into our air would help, the righties, themselves could blow smoke into the air. Or perhaps the righties ought to limit their expertise to blowing smoke up you! I hope you liked the last storm we sent!
Confidence men like Boy George and Romoney won't give up on you, they will surely come back for more so I'd suggest keeping you hands in your own pockets. Michael Milken went to prison for his tricks but now Bane Capital change the name of the heist to hide it from the marks! Come to think of it, this cladding sure looks like the Mittster's Magic Underwhere.
This brings a thought of building economically to mind. I guess that if the thought of building well never comes to mind, you won't mind rebuilding again too much. Time to cover the Broley barn for a third time!
