Ceiling Installation featured in Architectural Review

Just got this in my email. The house that I built the ceiling installation for was featured in the Architectural review. Much better pictures too. See here.

Architectural Installation: The Cloud.

Here's a few pictures from a recent architectural installation that I made for a 14m (46') long corridor. It was designed by my brother Stephen who is one half of RoeWu. The idea is that the varying angle of the louvres simulate the changing light that one experiences under a moving cloud. I'm not sure if the video captures this but it looks pretty cool and the clients love it.

The cloud was made up in sections in the workshop. There were a lot of those louvres to be made. Most of the louvres have push fixings so they can be removed easily for cleaning above the cloud. I used poplar for the louvres because of its stability and good painting qualities. The longitudinal pieces are WBP plywood.

I was able to install the parts from a ladder which made set up for the installation much easier. Below is a video clip of a walk through and shows how the light changes as you move along. It was early morning and a little dull at the time. I'll try and get a better shot soon.

Ogham chair featured in The Great Indoors

Just a quick post to let you know that the ogham chair I made a while back has been featured in the latest edition of The Great Indoors interiors magazine. Its free to read online and has lots of Irish craft and other interesting design pieces; not just the usual advertorials that most interiors magazines tend to be. So why not check it out.
