Revised Materiality Internal Visualisations

The interior materiality of the structure has been revised to align with a circular economy design and carbon-negative construction approach. The use of loadbearing CLT walls eliminates the need for plasterboard, reducing the building’s carbon footprint. The flooring now features white-stained cork on a timber suspended floor, further decreasing embodied carbon.

The outdoor garden follows the RIBA sustainable outcome principles, prioritising good health and well-being, sustainable communities, and social value. It includes visual connections to the surroundings, diverse green spaces, secure areas for privacy, outdoor planted spaces, and adheres to part K with a minimum 1100m railing height. Additionally, a large spanning element provides panoramic views while ensuring occupant privacy.

The reception space features CLT as the main structural and interior wall material, demonstrating a restrained material palette. The staircase is also made entirely of CLT. This design approach prioritises low embodied carbon construction and maximises natural light for an engaging atmosphere. The building’s exterior showcases black timber cladding, while the interior emphasises light-filled spaces and highlights CLT in the design.
