Building Enclosure Workshop

Building and construction details are essential for any architectural project. However, they often get left behind or put off until construction. Why is this so often the case? As architects, we're focused on the big picture for each project. Project schedules, design phases, client needs, construction administration, staffing, and practice management all require our attention. Additionally, we tend to operate under the assumption that each project will use similar means and methods of construction to protect against a building's worst enemies - thermal and water infiltration. The Building Enclosure Workshop is designed to help bridge this gap for architects and designers. We work with architectural firms, providing thoughtful reliable building details for their drawings regardless of project size or phase. Working together, we identify key areas of a project's design that may be problematic or requires special attention during construction. In addition, we provide a robust library of construction details for a variety of different exterior finish materials. With these tools, architects and designers can focus more on the big picture for each project.
