Architecture in Motion: Framing Spaces That Live and Breathe

Architectural space has long been framed by permanence: rooms for fixed functions, facades that clearly define where exterior ends and interior begins. Yet contemporary life is defined by overlap and transition: between work and living, interior and exterior, privacy and community. Spatial needs evolve continually, demanding architecture that can respond, adapt, and remain relevant over time. In this context, adaptability has emerged not only as a design ambition but as a sustainable necessity.

Central systems often overheat empty rooms and underheat the ones we're in, wasting energy along the way.

Couple build dream oak-frame house that's completely self-sufficient

For Marian and John Nash, the dream of owning an oak-frame home began over 40 years ago - that's when they came across a brochure on homebuilding and were captivated by an open-plan bungalow that featured in it. "We always kept that and said to each other that one day we'd build an oak-frame home that felt just as special," says Marian. "The oakwork in it had been done by Carpenter Oak, so when the time came, we naturally approached them with a view to them doing the same for us." The first stage of the process was meeting up with the company's architect, Ben Hancock-Parr, and it was only when explaining their must-haves for the house, that they realised their tastes had changed since their original oak-frame infatuation.
