Constructed from modular and prefabricated components, including Kingspan products, the architectural design of the recently awarded project - 'About Time' emphasises ease of assembly, sustainability, and efficiency in a small space. The essence of daily life within a compact 25m² microhome is impacted by optimising natural light and bright illumination of all living spaces. Dr. Neall Digert, Ph.D., MIES, Vice President, Innovation & Market Development in Kingspan Light + Air, North America shares his view on this creative design, and integration of Solatube Tubular Skylight, as part of the active sustainable systems. ℹ️ Learn more about the ‘About Time’ at: https://ow.ly/cMGr50T3K5V #Kingspan #BetterBuildingsforaBetterWorld #MicroHome #Daylighting #Skylight #BuildingDesign #Sustainability

Bringing a product idea to life requires an in-depth assessment of not only its viability, but of the benefits it can bring to the construction market, both today and in the future. This is especially key for #LowerEmbodiedCarbon products such as our KILON LEC Multiwall Sheet. Soha Hirbod, Innovation and Strategic Project Manager explores the process we went through to develop the product, and why #EnvironmentalProductDeclarations are vital for these types of innovations: https://ow.ly/8ie450SWL7C #PlanetPassionate #ProductInnovation #EmbodiedCarbon #Daylighting #NetZeroCarbonBuilding #NetZeroCarbon #QualityManagement

About Time is one of the four projects recently commended by Kingspan in the architectural Microhome competition. The project integrates our solutions for daylighting and water management and explores the essence of daily life within a compact 25m² microhome. Designed for a young couple, the concept prioritizes flexibility and efficiency in a small space. The layout is based on a 600x600mm grid, optimizing space usage with functional elements and storage positioned at the corners, leaving a central, adaptable area. A rotatable central screen divides and transforms the space according to daily needs, accommodating various routines like cooking, working, and relaxing. Constructed from modular and prefabricated parts, the microhome emphasizes ease of assembly and sustainability. The design allows for recycling and reuse of materials, contributing to a renewable material ecosystem and reflecting a thoughtful approach to the passage of time through its adaptable, timeless construction.

The Deaconess Aquactic Centre, designed by Hafer Associates, addressed the need for a new, modern, state-of-the-art aquatic facility in Evansvilla, Indiana. The 75,000-square-foot centre features a competition pool, a leisure pool and an outdoor splash pad, making it a community hub for all ages to enjoy and perform. To bring the architectural vision to reality, more than 13,000-square-feet of custom designed UniQuad translucent wall panels were installed. This allows natural daylight to illuminate the space while preventing glare from direct sunlight. The UniQuad also enhances safety and privacy by blocking direct line of sight into the facility. Custom designs on the panels showcases swimmers in action, adding impactful visuals to the facility both during the daylight and when backlit at night. The Indiana Park and Recreation Association recently awarded the project with an Exceptional Facility Design Award.
