Portfolio / Wattle & Daub

Inspired by the 16th-century wattle & daub building technique, our team produced a sustainable curtain wall panel system combining modern and medieval construction methods. The pre-fabricated frames are filled on site with waste from the building process. Sawdust, wood chips, and other scraps are mixed in with a binding agent to form the daub. This is then applied to the wood wattles in the center of the aluminum frame. Once cured, the finished panels and glazing can be installed on the building.

This project was done in collaboration with Brigette Borders, Forrest Jessee, and Laurence Sarrazin.
