Mary Rose Museum, Portsmouth

摘要

The main building is clad in timber planks of various lengths and widths. Western red cedar was chosen for its functionality and durability. The planks were stained with Solignum, an architectural stain suitable for coastal environments, and laid to mimic caravel boat construction - a technique used on the Mary Rose - where timbers were fixed with minimal expansion joints to avoid overlapping. The aluminium standing seam system to the main roof has a zinc finish, its geometry derived from the cut of a torus. The seams run parallel to the narrower length of the building and particular attention was paid to the detailing to avoid water ingress at the shallower ends of the roof to the east and west.
