Yesterday we received a delivery of the galvanized steel struts that will form a brise soleil.
By the end of the day, one complete run of these had been installed. The idea is that the brise soleil shades the upstairs rooms from the summer sun, high in the sky, but allows the lower winter sun to shine through and warm the rooms.
Pete Bowles has finished earth works for now, and his last act was to dig the foundations for the extended wall, which will run across from the right corner of the house following the curve (you can't see the curvature on this photo). This will guide the eye - and hopefully visitors - towards the front door which is hidden behind the stack of concrete blocks.
What is quite impressive, though, is the shape of the flying roof!
