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.
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
“"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
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"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."
