Completed in 2016 for the Art and Design block of Bedales School, and designed by Fielden Clegg Bradly Architects, two times winner of the Stirling Prize. The builder was Beard and The Greenoak Carpentry Company the specialist fabricators and installers of the rainscreen façade.
Careful detailing and specification have ensured the end result is attractive and long lasting. Good drawings, well-coordinated with the steel work package ensured a trouble free installation. Initially the structure was to be entirely of timber but in the end the client opted for a steel frame for cost reasons.
The diagrid is PAR fresh sawn Oak, jointed with dry slip tenons and held with oak pegs. The rainscreen laths are fresh sawn Siberian Larch, a dense close grained softwood known for its longevity.
The timber will weather back to a silver-grey colour over the coming months and ‘dresses up’ what would otherwise be a rather ordinary façade to give a pleasing finish, ably demonstrating the importance of good design in the built environment.
“"I wanted to drop you a quick note to show my appreciation for your guys efforts today; they were a pleasure to have around the house and worked hard to get the frame up today."
Paul, Contracts Manager
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
