    I installed tens of thousands of gabions, mostly in creeks for bank stabilization. They worked great. But then Fish and Game bizarrely decided they weren't environmentally acceptable (never understood why) and that was the end of that work for us. We literally lined miles of creeks with gabions - they looked great, especially if you included planter pockets and placed topsoil on top and seeded. They looked like a native slope above the scour line. Fish and critters would hide in the voids in the rock and likely survive high flow events. If you used mattress-type gabions on shallow slopes with topsoil and seeded then, you could walk on top of them a year later and never know they were there. The two main types were Maccaferri Gabions (almost like chainlink fencing) and the more rigid Hilfiker welded-wire gabions. Maccaferri are better for waterways since they are flexible.

      They use them a lot in Europe to maintain slopes that have falling rock debris near roads, but look how lovely these can be in a structure! Seems that they would also be good in earthquake zones and also for supporting terraces on a property with different levels.

      I was the junior member of a team rebuilding small river banks in central Pennsylvania in 1972. We used gabions that were 6’x3’x3’ with a chain link material. It was October to December before we worked the contract. Most of the rock was taken from the river bed, so we spent most of the days wading in near freezing, knee deep or deeper water looking for just the right rocks for facing and filler.

      They do not work well to stop erosion, they do not prevent undercutting. They are also a vertical "wall" that prevents wildlife from making it from the water to the shore. It's much better to use riprap (6" and smaller) rock on a 2/3 slope. Properly done, this prevents undercutting and allows wildlife a path from the water. It also has the benefit of looking more natural.

      Good use of what would otherwise be waste material and probably has great thermal properties for heating and cooling ( particularly cooling in the summertime ). The only thing I might be concerned with was annual perimeter maintenance to prevent soil and tree roots from ingressing into the buried gutters and up into the cladding.

    In '95 I traveled to Goma, Zaire on a mission to care for orphans from the Rwandan Civil War. I seen similar homes built like this. Goma is built on lava. The home I speak of are not occupied by refugees, but residents of the city. These are the poorest of the poor. They built the framework from thin branches, sticks twigs and vines, and used lava rocks for the fill.

  • @mf9264
    @mf9264 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    I've wanted to build something like this ever since I've seen gabion walls along the highway but my wife thinks I'm crazy. Wondered if you could do it in sections where each section is a framed with 2" x 10" lumber. 1' or 2' for the top and bottom. 8' or 10' for the sides. 2" steel mesh at the front and back. 3" granite rocks in the core (I love how granite looks when its raw and there's no mortar and I think the wood would add to it). Thinking you could build on the ground and then tilt it to vertical as Jake said. One thing you could try to keep the stone from distorting the frame could be to wire the mesh in the front to the mesh in the back and the wood at one side to the wood on the on the other side as you're adding the stone. Put plywood on the bottom and top when you build it on the ground and remove that after the tilt as that might keep help to things in place while you're doing the tilt. Maybe put some kind of granite colored fabric after you layer in the first 5" / before you layer in the last 5" as that would block any gaps that you would otherwise be able to see through.

  • @josephhfry
    @josephhfry 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    I suspect this building was cheaper than you think. Gabion cages are pretty cheap, and I'd assume the stone came from on or near the property. The steel work was probably pricey, but likely cheaper than commercial products with similar durability. The rest appears fairly standard.

    Seems to me that those would be filled standing. There is a large amount of weight in those gabions. If you have access to river rock it could be done fairly economically and not all that time intensive. Ive filled a few gabions.

  • @DitDitDitDahDahDahDitDitDit
    @DitDitDitDahDahDahDitDitDit 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    Radiative heat from the sun obviously heats only the first layer or two of stones. If you think about the few, small, points of contact among those stones, especially as this repeats across their depth, there’s probably little conductive heat transfer from front to back. And there’s great air circulation to carry the heat away. It’d be fascinating for someone to make measurements and estimate all that, either in this building itself or in a simple model. Blunting the heat gain of a house during the worst hours of the day may be almost as good, and much more affordable, than some of the elaborate plans using expensive materials. Not that this specific configuration is practical as is. It’s a concept.

      I think it would be treated like a standard repair. You pull the stones, replace the cage. Put the stones back in place. It would be just like anything else that would need to be repaired. Cost to repair correlates directly to the original cost to install.

  • @dailyreader506

    The questions that leap to mind are: 1) is the anticipated service life without exterior maintenance to be much greater than 100 yrs (e.g. 150+ yrs?) a design intent? 2) is maximum wildfire resistance a design intent? 3) is the sound transmission reduction a very high value? 4) are the maintenance costs intended to be minimized for the intended service life? 5) is there a thermal mass component to this design? 6) is there a settlement accommodation intent or earthquake resistance design component? 7) tornado or hurricane resistance? I can’t help but think this is intended as a long term design test construction and it may have received a grant to carry this type of construction out.

    Gabions work until they rust out. We have them here in the mountains holding back steep walls along the sides of roads. They do shed water, true but They do eventually fail. Water will take its toll. Snow and ice will speed up the process. Sure, it looks cool on a building, but repairing these walls is going to be a nightmare. Gabions have their place….in landscaping for sure, but on the walls of a building that will need replacing in 20-30 years? Not unless you can afford the repairs, which given the location, may not be an issue.

    really interesting but i think the wire mesh that holds the stone is not thick or rigid enough. it has a bit of a floppy appearance. it makes you feel kind of like the stones are going to burst out. this does not contrast well with the windows which are thick steel, rigid and straight and angular -- strong. the wire mesh should also look stark and rigid and i personally would have liked a galvanized mill finish a lot more than the spindly rusty string look. i also think the stones dont match the windows or the overall theme of this structure. the soft, round, colorful stones clash with the idea of a stoic, enduring structure that transcends the eons. they look too silly for that. a darker, uniform colored stone, more angular, would work much better. i also think the lack of any significant overhangs is a mistake. it looks like a cottage without them. and obviously a cottage is not the right shape for a building with corten steel details. im very glad that you shared this building with us though because its so refreshing to see inspired buildings!

    Very cool building. With an inexhaustible amount of tax payers money, there’s no discounting what the government would spend to build something.

      Or maybe the tax payers are ok with the municipality spending their money to create beautiful things for everyone to enjoy?

      @@jake.bruton.aarow.building Tax payers have no choice. Trillions in debt and We The People did not have a voice in any of it. Guarantee a private company could have and would have built that same thing for cheaper or something just as nice for cheaper. But you keep believing the government spends tax dollars wisely. Must benefit in some way from it.

      @@myrrhavm I think you are confusing local tax dollars on the city level with federal government spending. This was a local government project, in which there were local hearings and the municipality voted on the matter and the citizens approved the project. I didn’t make an arguement that anyone spent the money in an effcient way, or that private industry couldn’t have done it more effectively. What I am saying is that what happened is what you are advocating for. The tax payers voices were heard and in this instance this is what they wanted.

      I would think you make a repair. Same as when any cladding has an issue. Or any shingle has an issue, you make a repair when the building has problems you fix them.

      Super simple to lay another mesh over the previous one before it rusts out. Cheaper than the first, where most of the cost is lifting the rock into position. Surprised they didn’t do the first layer with galvanized mesh tho so it just doesn’t rust at all.
      For anyone who’s spent time in hot parts of war zones, you’ve probably lived in gabion housing. The army corps of engineers defaults to gabion construction as a very fast cheap way to build walled bases and bullet/shrapnel/mortar/RPG-proof walls. I suspect the speed of construction plus very local fill could rival or beat the cost of any other construction method.

      Core-ten steel is used "untreated" in exterior projects everyday. The oxidation forms a barrier to protect the steel from further oxidation. Outdoor sculptures use this a lot. Not cheap, but super durable.
