ALBERTINI: Windows, doors, sliders in wood and bronze clad
The Albertini family began building wood windows, doors and shutters in a small workshop in the outskirts of Verona, Italy in 1954. Half a century later Albertini windows and doors are recognized the world over for their sophisticated design and timeless beauty. Albertini's entire product line is available in a variety of wood species, and can be clad in aluminum or solid architectural bronze.

Our buildings are clad using using highly insulated composite panels to minimise heat loss from the building. All joints are sealed for airtightness in order to stop warm air escaping.
The school chose a dark green colour finish to fit in with their school colours. The composite panels are also available in a wide range of colours.
Today ALL our racks are completely full of Suyaki. Boy is that wood thirsty--we went through several 5-gallon cans in one day. We have an exterior package headed to Peter's crew at Able Construction, Inc
The new award winning music rehearsal and recital hall at Wells Cathedral School was officially opened by Michael Eavis CBE in October 2016. Constructed over the past 18 months, the new music facility includes a 350-seat concert hall which will be used by pupils and local community groups.
Cedars Hall sits at the heart of the school campus and lies on the historically significant axis of Wells Cathedral’s Chapter House. The new hall maintains important views from the landmark wellingtonia tree to Wells Cathedral and views across the garden and grounds. The scheme also required an enabling works project that saw the completion of a new sports pavilion, maintenance facility and revised access arrangements in 2015.
Elizabeth Cairncross, Head at Wells Cathedral School said: “We are already enjoying using it and sharing it, and it is beginning to change the way we teach and learn.”
Working alongside Eric Parry Architects, LUC was the landscape architect from inception through to completion.
The hall was presented with a South West RIBA award, as well as the prestigious RIBA South West Building of the Year Award 2017 for the South West & Wessex region, at the RIBA South West Architecture Awards.

"Cladirea, cu fatade impodobite cu balcoane, atlanti si frontoane maiestuoase, construita intr-un amestec de stil moldovenesc si elemente baroce, a fost zidita in anul 1806 de catre inginerul Boyordi pentru familia lui Costache Catargiu, logofat al Tarii de Jos in vremea domnitorului Ionita Sandu Sturza (1822-1828). Edificiul a trecut succesiv in posesia mai multor proprietari, iar in anul 1837, el apartinea fruntasului unionist moldovean Mihail-Cantacuzino-Pascanu, care i-a facut o serie de modificari. Dupa alegerea lui Cuza ca domn al Moldovei (5 ianuarie 1859) si pana la 26 octombrie 1862, cind, in urma desavirsitii Unirii pe plan administrativ, capitala se fixeaza la Bucuresti, edificiul a fost inchiriat de Stat pentru a servi ca locuinta domnitorului."

one of two places where the water from roof is making contact with the wooden siding because the z -purlin that sits under the wee roof overhang is somehow sitting a bit funny and re-directing the water back into the building not the guttering ...aargh!
btw the damp is nothing to do with being near the downpipe and the barrel.. it is further along from that and is def the z purlin redirecting it onto the building.

From the Behind-the-Scenes Tour around Tower Bridge: Towers, high-level Walkways and Victorian Engine Rooms down to its hidden depths, normally out of bounds to the public...views from the Glass Floor and high-level Walkway, then the original steam engines, accumulators and boilers in the Victorian Engine Rooms...the Bridge’s operational areas including the Control Cabin, Machinery Room and the immense Bascule Chambers, which house the 422-ton counterweights.
Built between 1886 and 1894, the Bridge has spent more than a century as London's defining landmark, an icon of London and the United Kingdom.
A huge challenge faced the City of London Corporation - how to build a bridge downstream from London Bridge without disrupting river traffic activities. To generate ideas, the Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876, and a public competition was launched to find a design for the new crossing.
Over 50 designs were submitted to the Committee for consideration, some of which are on display at Tower Bridge. It wasn't until October 1884 however, that Sir Horace Jones, the City Architect, in collaboration with John Wolfe Barry, offered the chosen design for Tower Bridge as a solution.
It took eight years, five major contractors and the relentless labour of 432 construction workers each day to build Tower Bridge under the watchful eye of Sir John Wolfe Barry.
Two massive piers were built on foundations sunk into the riverbed to support the construction, and over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework for the Towers and Walkways. This framework was clad in Cornish Granite and Portland Stone to protect the underlying steelwork and to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance.
When it was built, Tower Bridge was the largest and most sophisticated bascule bridge ever completed ('bascule' comes from the French word for 'seesaw'). These bascules were operated by hydraulics, using steam to power the enormous pumping engines. The energy created was stored in six massive accumulators, meaning that as soon as power was required to lift the Bridge, it was always readily available. The accumulators fed the driving engines, which drove the bascules up and down. Despite the complexity of the system, the bascules only took about a minute to raise to their maximum angle of 86 degrees. Find out more about this process.
Today, the bascules are still operated by hydraulic power, but since 1976 they have been driven by oil and electricity rather than steam. The original pumping engines, accumulators and boilers are now on display within Tower Bridge’s Engine Rooms.

Electricity transformer station with garden on top. Design won in competition in 1961 by John Darbourne. Detailed and built in 1964-7 by Darbourne and Geoffrey Darke for Westminster City Council. Darke the architect in charge for this element. In-situ reinforced concrete construction, grit-blasted, with part load-bearing brick walls clad in multi-red hand-made facing bricks, with raked joints. Roof paved with similar red bricks and planted as a playground and garden. Square plan, largely submerged in the basement level of the Victorian houses previously on the site. Eight large transformers and coolers, with switch rooms, batteries and other auxiliary rooms and staff facilities. Garden on top. Elevations of sub-station in Dudokian style, powerfully massed, with vertical bands of bricks and teak louvres at either end, and projecting central element supported on exposed concrete beams. Two central teak doors with louvres either side. North elevation similar but more regular. On top the garden has a high wall with trellis openings, through which the planting overhangs in the manner encouraged at Lillington Gardens. The transformer station, originally with a football pitch on top, was the first part of Lillington Gardens to be built. It is one of the most abstract elements of the scheme and is a powerful composition. EH Listing
