Using Local Landscape Materials
We aim to create and sustain places that feel rooted in the landscape, that reflect and enhance the lives and pursuits of the people who inhabit them.
Reposted from localworkstudio Some samples leaving the workshop today. Internal plasters and external renders made from site-based materials 🌾🌱🌿for our project in #southdownsnationalpark with bbm_sustainable_design #lwsjournal #landscapearchitecture

WIP images of surface development for @assembleofficial using beautiful 100% waste-based tiles by @granbyworkshop. #wip #architecture #reuse #ceramics #architecturalceramics #lwsjournal
Despite lockdown chaos, really enjoyed an early morning/late night conversation with @molonglo @danihro @philip_christou @irenee.scalbert about risk, time, relational approaches to design and territorial urbanism. Thanks very much for the invitation @assembleofficial it made our week. #lwsjournal
Samples for 2 new projects: making bricks and tiles from crushed bricks and tiles. Both sites involve the demolition of failing existing structures. #wip #sample #architecture #architecturesamples #brick #tiles #waste #material #building #lwsjournal
Polishing our tiles made from 💯% waste, for project with @uniofbrighton. Dirty work but very satisfying! #waste #architecture #design #vernacularmaterials #lwsjournal
Really enjoying our design and prototyping process for some external furniture for @maggiescentres with @sarahpricelandscapes. We are designing and making tables and benches using materials from the site and immediate local area. ♻️♻️♻️ #reuse #landscapearchitecture #wasteisaresource #lwsjournal @maggiesinsouthampton

Fun Friday afternoon sorting out the office samples library #materials #samples #wasteisaresource #localworksstudio #lwsjournal
Work in progress survey drawings. #wip #geeksontour #architecture #drawing #design #vernacular #lwsjournal
Our prototype waste bricks are heading off to mainland Europe, for further testing and experimental construction techniques. ♻️🏗🧱🔬Have a great trip! Wish I was going with you. #buildingcraft #lwsjournal #experimentalbuilding #brick #bricklove
Plaster samples for a current project in Sussex. Blends of chalk, clays and plant fibres. We’ve been designing, making and using natural plasters for 15 years. Inspired by historic vernacular UK processes and traditional Japanese plasterwork, which is exquisite. #plasterwork #buildingcraft #landscapearchitecture #lwsjournal #localworksstudio
Really enjoyed talking today to @aaschool Experimental Program, Unit 7. Focussing on using raw site-based materials, and a learning-through-making approach. #landscapearchitecture #localworksstudio #buildingcraft #lwsjournal
Calcined Cuttlefish bone. CaO - Quicklime. Part of our experiments into making and understanding raw materials. #cuttlefish #quicklime #wip #experiment #calcine #cuttlebone #lwsjournal
Work in progress. Decorative render applied to a new building. Made from waste aggregates and site based materials. Giving different bands of colour and texture. @spithursthub #wip #waste #architecture #vernacular #lwsjournal
Great to meet, talk and discuss with Rhode Island School of Design - Material Logic course @risdlandscape and @gavinz__ today. Landscape narratives, people, materials and processes. #lwsjournal #landscapearchitecture @risd1877
