The Featherstone Building - The Evolution of the Design
The Featherstone Building - The Evolution of the Design
15 Apr 2022
The Featherstone Building reached completion earlier this week and the campus can now be viewed in its entirety in Old Street. But how did it get to this point?
David Storring, Director at Morris+Company, explains it was the unique level of testing and model making in the early stages of design that created such an impactful building. The team took an iterative approach to model making, using different scales to discern the ultimate effect of the building. They studied the texture, materiality, and light, recording the shadows cast on each individual brick.
