Single Ply Workspace
This workspace developed from an interest in exploring the strength of a single sheet of plywood. Of equal interest was the achievement of structural stability using mostly simple/pinned connections, as well as minimal mounting to the existing walls. The sheets of birch plywood and osb are modestly connected using bronze door hinges. The “modelling” and “office” workspaces are balanced by tiny steel angles at the existing opening. The “modelling” workspace has no connections to the existing fabric, while the “office”
workspace is pinned at the wall by a single angle.
