When Fabrication Augments Design: LLDS

Press/Media: Research

Description

LLDS (co-principals, David Leggett, Paul Loh) is a studio that explores sustainable architecture by combining digital fabrication technologies with a handcrafted sensibility. In contrast to the often monotonous appearance of passive houses, Northcote House, designed by LLDS, boldly communicates an expressive form. This striking visual identity was fabricated and constructed in-house, using the studio’s own techniques. For LLDS, fabrication is an extension of design, allowing them to realise unconventional forms beyond standard production specifications without compromise, leveraging expertise gained through experimental prototyping. In this interview, David Leggett and Paul Loh discussed their vision for architectural sustainability and technological innovation, with a focus on Northcote House.
