Design of the CobBauge Building

Activity: Consultancy and contribution to enterpriseConsultancy

Description

This project was to design a multi-use teaching and research building using the innovative CobBauge construction method at the University of Plymouth. This project aimed at providing an opportunity for the University to build a CobBauge building, which was the first in the world built using this innovative material. The building has provided a platform for researchers at the University to monitor the performance of this new material and help to demonstrate how CobBauge could be used for other buildings.

I worked as a consultant (Architect) and oversaw the design and construction of this building. I also frequently provide talks on the CobBauge project and the construction of the building.
