???????????????????? ?????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting the teams from Redbrick LMD and NFP, an Aon company on a site visit to witness the installation of HEMPSULATION at one of our exciting projects.

Hempsulation offers numerous advantages, including: ?????????????????????????????? ????????????????: Made from a renewable resource, hemp is a sustainable choice for a healthier planet. ???????? ???? ??????????????: Requiring no special protective gear and emitting no VOCs, hemp creates a safer and more comfortable work environment.

We're proud to have contributed to the replacement of a roof at one of DC Metropolitan Police Department's stations. This project was a small but meaningful way to improve the working conditions of our city's brave officers. Working on this project offered us a unique perspective on the tireless work our first responders do for our community. We're grateful for the opportunity to express our appreciation through this project. A big thank you to the dedicated teams at DC Department of General Services DGS (Marina Khodiaveh, PMP, LEED AP, MS, Agyei Hargrove, Jessica Lugg, MBA) and Konstructure (Kevin Mohammed, James Jones) for their hard work and commitment to this successful project. #publicservice #community #firstresponders #grateful #teamwork #dcarchitecture

Architectural Detailing: Balancing Design and Cost-Effectiveness Creating a good detail involves balancing design intent with the necessary components to provide a cost-effective solution for our clients. Cost-effectiveness isn't just about material choice; it's also about the complexity of assembly. For instance, when we developed the detail below, we focused on materials that were readily available, durable, and required minimal pieces for assembly. This sketch wasn't our first attempt—it was an iterative process. We continually asked ourselves, "Is there a better way to achieve this detail?" until we arrived at a simple, effective solution. This level of refinement is only possible with a deep understanding of various materials and their capabilities. At Emotive Architecture, we are constantly learning about materials and are unafraid to push our understanding to ultimately provide the simplest solutions that add value. #architecture #design #detailing #costeffective #innovation #emotivearchitecture #solutions
