LYNP Projects & Constructions

CHANGING WITH the times

Congratulations to Levon Yaghdjian, partners and the whole LYNP team for their innovative approach in changing with the times.

LYNP Projects and Construction design and build new residential and commercial projects. They have a strong, committed team working with quality and knowledge to provide the best possible results for their clients.

“I am grateful to both our team and our clients, they are our company’s biggest assets,” Levon says. LYNP Projects and Constructions is an award-winning building and design company with a considerable number of projects past, present and future.

Their whole philosophy is ‘ensuring function’. All of their room designs join together to ensure one unique, functional building.

Throughout history, constructions have been designed using materials available in their geographical region. Where clay was plentiful, the main material was brick and ceramic coverings. Where stone was more readily available, the walls and floors were stone. The beautiful Roman buildings are a perfect example of extensive use of marble and other types of granite in that region. In the new world of English-speaking countries, it was all about wood. Initially tree logs were used and then, with industrialisation, wood and clay derivatives for structure and ceramics for coverings and roofs came into play. This type of culture continued over time, with the globalisation of culture and of architectural space. The different influences were mixed and the different materials, regardless of their origin, created new forms of design. However, the fact is that right now, there is a current worldwide crisis in the supply of construction materials, especially those considered traditional within the construction culture of each country or region. Here in Queensland, for example, many materials are in low supply, including wood in its various forms, including laminated wood for structures, roofing and finishings. Likewise, the labor of carpentry is scarce due to the high demand. This has created a serious problem for the building industry and resulted in some construction needing to stop completely. At LYNP, changing to other materials such as steel and reinforced concrete for structures has meant they have been able to keep going. There are numerous advantages of these materials over the traditional concept of local construction based on wood and its derivatives. Steel or concrete structures do not need termite protection. Steel and reinforced concrete constructions, in addition to being more solid and durable in bad weather, require less maintenance. They allow greater freedom in the creation of spaces, due to the simple fact that the structure is independent from the rest of the construction. With this, it is possible to create larger free spaces, greater heights and larger openings to the outside, creating the possibility to allow light and external landscape into the more comfortable and more efficient home or commercial space, which is ultimately visually more pleasant. In the beginning, LYNP was running small renovation projects. However, in no time at all they moved into new residential and commercial projects, design and construction, combining architecture with structure.
