You are looking for a company that:

- engages with your ideas and pro-actively suggests design and manufacturing solutions
- can take the hassle out of getting things made and installed
- takes your brief and gets on with it
- can detail and manufacture a finished product starting only from your concept sketch
- makes odd things happen (we do like secret doors)
- fits new features into awkward spaces, old buildings and difficult sites
- understands the value of a huge range of materials - and can suggest new ones
- can engineer the heck out of your project
- communicates clearly, concisely and doesn’t leave you wondering what’s going on

USEFUL INFORMATION
Passivhaus
Makersmith were commissioned to carry out the full detail design of a unique new build property constructed to Passivhaus principles. Our role was to integrate structural and thermal designs and produce design and construction information for everything from foundations upwards.
This included developing a cassette system to allow the installation of a wide variety of windows and doors into the building envelope while avoiding thermal bridging and retaining air-tightness. Makersmith overcame some complex interface problems and enabled the project to be constructed exactly as the concept envisaged.
The property also included a heat recovery & ventilation system, four staircases, a solar-thermal roof, a grass roof and a very large and complex arched window construction.
The property was constructed as designed, all the construction details worked as proposed, and it is now an outstanding home.
