Well, we've gone and done it again, the studio has split in two. The simultaneous development between the Crop Stop and the Decathlon cabinetry is crucial at this stage, since we are working up to our porch build in Greenville next week, and the Cabinet mock up in the weeks that follow that. The cabinetry design [...]

FloorPlan----Nicole’s plan combines modular and [...]

"MA" is a Japanese word which can be roughly translated as "gap", "space", "pause" or "the space between two structural parts." Well, In China, we call this [...]
Monday: @2pm...Studio V met with Mr. John Moore, a well respected engineer, to receive feedback about the structural details of our project. Mr. Moore suggested that we construct most of it out of structural steel tubes to resist deflection and bending. Furthermore, he suggested ways to connect the guardrails and handrails to the structure. The [...]
