Practice Statement

Historically, dRMM have used scale engineered wood products (plywood or blockboard) to simulate structural configurations in Glulam and CLT, eg. Endless Stair, MK40 Tower, Naked House, Workstack.

Expertise in engineered wood products are maintained in prototyping for grant funded research into homegrown timber, and models created for display such as those exhibited in the Forest of Fabrication exhibition.

Models made for community consultation have always been central to the practice, particularly for the design of schools and residential buildings.

A shift towards larger projects has seen a focus move to massing models and façade mock-ups for residential let mixed use buildings.
