Summary:
Today we spent our afternoon at the Renfrow + Co shop reviewing fabrication for the custom play structure at Greenside. The best projects come from strong partnerships, where designers and fabricators work through details together, in real time. Watching the structure take shape in the shop reinforces the value of craft, precision, and iteration.
Making is the bridge between vision and experience.
notes:
Design with fabrication in mind. Engage local fabricators early and often and have conversations about cost effectiveness, buildability, and durability.
Full in-shop assembly reduced field labor, minimized on-site painting, improved durability, and created flexibility for future relocation.
Thermally modified pine was used to clad the steel frame. Long lasting, lightweight, sustainable, and workability are key traits.
