Looking ahead to 2025, and a way of thinking about the future. Sometimes we need to design the first building, sometimes we need to start again, but wherever we can, we repair, restore and find creative ways to give existing buildings new life. Next year, we plan to share more of these stories of restoration and reuse, from grand homes and offices to humble details; the join in a timber, the pattern on a piece of silk, and then up to the scale of a whole street. #retrofit #repair #restore #renewyear

Would you have guessed that the world's tallest timber skyscraper is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin? It is, and they're planning to beat their record with an even taller timber skyscraper. Currently, the Ascent MKE Building holds the record as the tallest mass timber building in the world. A 55-story mass timber structure will soon surpass its 25 stories. Planned renovations to the Marcus Performing Arts Center will make the city a double record holder. Mass timber is more economical, lightweight, and carbon-neutral than steel and concrete. Surprisingly, its charring properties make it even more fire-resistant. Read more in this article in Popular Science: https://bit.ly/3Mcw2Xh. #itcomesfromatree #masstimber #skyscrapers

=> The longevity of natural slate is truly remarkable <= 💪 With Paragon Slate, we completed this small project showcasing slates that have been in the making for 500 million years under ground, before spending around a century on a roof. These slates are now embarking on a third life with this new roof 🙌. 🔭 Looking ahead, in the next century, these slates could be recycled into gravel for landscaping projects, ensuring stones never go to waste, respecting the millions of years of nature's work...and even if it does, it is only going back to nature as a nature's product, the only true cycle ♻️ In this case, we are talking about slate stone, but similar can be said on other stones we find around us which can be used as structural walls, columns, beams, stairs and many more applications. Structures we can confidently say will outlast our generation 🏛️ 🪨 Let's bring back natural stone to the forefront of building material in its raw, simple and natural form, paving the way for a sustainable and enduring future for generations to come. #Buildforfuturegenerations #naturalstone #Slateroofing #Paragonslate

If walls could talk, they'd probably say, 'Stop judging me by my looks!' 🧱 Sure, repointing makes your brickwork look sharp enough to grace the cover of Architectural Digest, but it’s so much more than a pretty face. Repointing keeps water out, prevents structural damage, and ensures your building stands strong for years to come. Think of it as a spa day and a health check-up for your bricks. 💪 💡 Got questions about repointing? Drop us a message, we're here to help keep your property in top-notch condition. #MasonryFacts #RepointingMatters #NorthShoreBrickwork
