Platform 5 Architects. Stephen Turner and the Exbury Egg. Simple Living In The Exbury Egg With George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces. The Exbury Egg is the most awesome looking thing, floating on the water, what could strike you as something surreal, but in reality it is just beautiful.
It is so unexpected you find that you just accept it and stare at it in amazement. However, this sculptured and truly amazing space has a purpose, which is to act as a piece of art itself, that changes over the year, and as a studio for an artist in residence to gain inspiration from being part of the tidal creed in which it is moored. Climb aboard and you notice it rises and falls on the tide, pulling itself off from the muddy riverbed with a delightful pop as it floats free.
The place both in design, and its’ environment is poetic. For the ‘Amazing Spaces’ book it didn’t feel right to add much to this space. Construction. Survival of the Fittest 3D Design.

Glulam Beam Connectors. About SIPS (Structural Insulated Panel Systems) The concept of a structural insulated panel system (SIPS) began in 1935 at the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) in Madison, Wisconsin.
FPL engineers speculated that plywood and hardboard sheathing could take a portion of the structural load in wall applications. Their prototype SIPS were constructed using framing members within the panel combined with structural sheathing and insulation. The panels were used to construct test homes that were continually monitored for over thirty years, then disassembled and re-examined. During this time, FPL engineers continued to experiment with new designs and materials. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright used structural insulated panels in some of his affordable Usonian houses built throughout the 1930's and 1940's. By the 1960's rigid foam insulating products became readily available resulting in the production of SIPS as we know them today.
