Good Foundations
A sturdy little workshop built to last.
Good Foundations is a small building yard with an articulated crane and suspended work in progress, with a stack of bricks, a workshop hammer and a rolled drawing.
Resident Mortar, the careful maker
Good Foundations
Good Foundations is a workshop with a crane arm over the roof, a sturdy door and a load of bricks swinging gently from the hook. It is a building in progress, and it looks like it knows exactly where it is going.
Mortar is the careful maker. Mortar keeps the blueprint rolled out at the foot of the crane, so the plans are always in reach, and sets one small stone aside for the spot where the best idea first arrived.
It is a page for steady work: a studio, a practice or a small firm that wants to show how things get built. Say what you are making, and let the foundations speak for themselves.
