MISSION

Finsbury Park Beehouse

Adapting the experience gathered from previous projects, it was decided to approach this build so that maximm savings on waste could be achieved - aiming for nearly 100% efficiency.

This view is front on looking at where the main access door will eventually reside. Don't worry, the box like structure is not a coffin as some people remarked at the time, but only there to indicate where the top shelf of hives will eventually reside.

Once the architectural plans were drawn up, we decided to spend some time building a skeleton frame model from balsawood in order to better understand and calculate the exact amount of wood required for the build.

This side elevation view shows the full length of the building (3.5 metres) and the higher posts indicate that the roof will be a pent one - with the steepest side facing you on the right side of the building.
