THE BUILDING OF ISLAND REST

The design and build of our house

This is a website that I intend to use to record the journey we have embarked on to build a new contemporary piece of architecture, a home, in Wootton Creek on the Isle of Wight. We have already designed the building, demolished the existing house and completed the foundations...my blog is a bit late... I hope the rest of the project build is interesting and potentially valuable to all those that are thinking of doing something similar.

​

I have been working with buildings for the last 20 years as structural engineer and and so I thought I knew all that needed to be known about building a house, I was obviously wrong, I have always believed naivety and ignorance to some extent are valuable in the pursuit of progress. There is no question I will learn much from this process, I hope that it makes me a better engineer (and person) and reminds me why I fell in love with making good architecture.
