SAVILL BUILDING ONE OF FOUR NEW TRADA CASE STUDIES

摘要

TRADA, the Timber Research and Development Association, has expanded the popular case study area on its website - www.trada.co.uk with the addition of four new case studies, including the 2007 Gold Wood Award-winning Savill Building. This stunning building is the visitor centre for the Great Park, the historic 14,000 acre (5,665ha) forest and woodland park to the south of Windsor. The brief from the client, the Crown Estate, required that timber from the park be used where possible. Glenn Howells Architects have followed this requirement to the letter: the building is roofed with an undulating gridshell of park-grown larch laths, while oak from the park was used for the roof's outer rainscreen, floor and also for external features.
