"THISS Studio challenges the conventions of residential architecture with Porotherm. THISS Studio's latest project transforms a standard extension brief into a compelling case study in material innovation and sustainable practice."
"The London-based architects have reimagined the potential of small-scale domestic architecture through the experimental use of Porotherm, a precision-engineered clay block walling system commonly used in large-scale commercial developments."
THISS Studio applies Porotherm, a precision-engineered clay block walling system, within a residential extension to test material performance at a domestic scale. The project repurposes a product typically used in large commercial developments for small-scale architecture, emphasizing thermal efficiency, precision construction, and embodied material qualities. The intervention turns a standard extension brief into an exploration of material innovation and sustainable practice by leveraging Porotherm's structural and environmental benefits. The design demonstrates how engineered masonry can reduce construction complexity, enhance durability, and extend sustainable strategies to urban domestic projects.
