The Formalisation of nature
A Turtle Dove breeding and wildlife sanctuary facilitated by a Medlar orchard and Brandy Distillery. The Formalisation of Nature is a contemporary crafted building using nature as its basis and formalising its forms, the dovetail gave its inspiration to carpentry, and the form of the building this formalisation can also be seen as the representational approach. Morris & Co wallpaper has been used throughout to communicate this ethos. The Arts and Crafts movement pioneered craft and harked back to the medieval period, with the Turtle Dove and Medlar both being more prevalent than it was a natural progression of ideas to utilise these techniques. The dovetail joint is common in well-crafted furniture and carpentry this project reinterprets how dovetails can tesselate, simplifying their connections and oversizing their purpose. The thatched facade produced a contemporary form and unified envelope. Thatch is an ancient building material used across England especially in the local area, it requires local tradespeople and is a renewable material, keeping its use in line with the crafted ethos.
