Manorhouse Workshop: When MHW first created the concept of dynamic walls some years ago, it was the result of years of brainstorming. Something simple, yet elegant.
Dynamic Walls are called like that because they can be inserted and swapped into our real walls to create an infinity of combinations. This means you don’t need to buy a lot of different walls. You need usually to buy only 1, and if you want to have different walls, just swap the insert (“Dynamic Wall”) inside, and you’re good. Easy, and cheap. Here is a short video about 6 different dynamic walls that we have created, and which will be available for our Kickstarter
Did you notice also our dynamic wall with the door? Yes, the door is open there, but not fixed. All our doors, in our dynamic walls, will be able to be opened and closed easily, allowing you to open passages without having to take out the dynamic wall in itself! It doesn’t stop to wooden doors. A good number of our dynamic walls can have such a feature, it’s quite simple, really.
What are our 6 dynamic walls ? Plain wall: the overall result is a very gothic-like plain wall. Door: you can open and close this door without having to swap the dynamic wall. It is very important when you have another floor/wall on top of it, else you would need to unbuild a whole upper floor section just to take out the dynamic wall so as to “open” the door. Grate: very straightforward. Can also be created with a “door grate” version, similar to our “Door” dynamic wall, for more versatility. Window & Gothic Balcony: those versions aren’t seen in other videos yet, but they are a sneak peek of what to come. They will allow you to have breathtaking upper floors, in full gothic architecture, starting from balconies, and moving to whole structures and churches/cathedrals. Arch: it is not a typo, there is a dynamic wall which shows an arch … inside another arch …
But why ?
First of all, it’s beautiful, and brings out the full power of the gothic architecture. We love beautiful things. Secondly, while you can keep a walled arch without a dynamic wall inside (and it would just show an arch), if you don’t add a cover or a dynamic wall inside, then it won’t look perfect overall, because you will see the slit/slot on the top of the wall, empty, like a hole, because there is no dynamic wall inside. The same slits could be seen also from the inside, if you look closely at the insides of the arches. We at MHW aim for perfection.
Does it stop there? No it doesn’t. There are many more to come, and all of our dynamic walls have been thought so as to be used in a plethora of different situations, making them the most modular (and useful) walls you’ll ever see. Regards from Lorenzo and David
