Wildernesse Restaurant is a timber-vaulted, metal-skinned shared dining space for a new retirement community. The site is within the Wildernesse Conservation Area and adjacent to a grade II listed building. During the 19th century a conservatory sat to the north-east corner of the grade II listed mansion. The new restaurant aims to reinstate this pavilion typology, creating an exquisite dining space with the transparency of a traditional glasshouse. Internally, CLT arches sit atop a grid of glulam columns. The arches define large glazed openings and a central elevated lantern houses the open kitchen – creating a space filled with light and expansive views across the estate. The use of minimal repeated elements is a key concept for the construction of the restaurant. Internally, all the timber structure is left exposed.

MSA Stage 3 Prize 2022 Highly Commended

An exploration of Energy, Landscape and Culture forms the basis of the project. Therefore, a strong sustainable emphasis is vital to reflect a shrewd sensitivity to site, context, and energy consumption. Through the exploration of a new typology- an Urban Food Exchange, or UFEX- an intrinsic sustainable dialogue mirrors the lifecycle of locally grown produce from seed to mouth. Thus, these sustainable parameters directly endorse the project’s function, purpose, and cultural significance.

The Urban Food Exchange in Maryhill functions as a community resource where local produce can be grown, sold, stored, and celebrated. The scheme is divided into 2 distinct areas: the Hub and the House. The Hub consists of educational facilities and two large multipurpose assembly spaces where vegetables can be both sold and studied. Produce which is either grown on-site or transported via the canal waterway is processed inside dedicated facilities within the Hub, allowing educational groups to observe and participate in the preparation of food. The House acts as a residential building which accommodates a maximum of 20 occupants. The structure of the House’s rooms allows for a multitude of residential configurations to participate in “nutritional retreats” in the facility- from families staying several days to individuals attending seasonal placements. Residents of the House can directly experience the growth, production, and transportation of vegetables through participation in educational classes within the Hub.

Orientation, Placement, Form

The UFEX’s design is primarily influenced by the form, movement, and structure of the Maryhill Locks- a key site feature which commands the surrounding landscape, providing a primary route for both produce and people. the scheme’s boundaries are formed through following markers within the lock formation, highlighting the intrinsic relation between building and landscape. The scheme is carefully positioned to reduce the impact of the south-westerly tower block’s shadow, maximising solar gain. The locks are situated to the north of the site, and therefore the building needed to both maximise light from the south while celebrating northern views. To obtain this, the building’s two forms are linear in shape, and face both the northern public realm and the southern sun- ensuring maximum solar gain whilst celebrating the lock form. The building has two distinct entrances- one public, one private- emphasising the multipurpose intent; the residential House could therefore be used separately to the Hub in winter months or with changing use, prolonging the building’s lifespan. The Hub acts as a barrier between the covered outdoor space and the South-West prevailing wind, creating a comfortable external environment for gardening and education.

Materiality and Structure

The building’s façade is comprised of both Scottish Larch and facing brick. An emphasis on locally sourced timber construction highlights the building’s sustainability focus and reduces CO2 emissions. A timber frame structure is utilised due to the uniform, linear plan of the two buildings, and the appropriate span of 10m in assembly spaces. The use of exposed glulam roof rafters creates a pleasing aesthetic whilst also minimizing CO2 production. Timber has a high strength to weight ratio and is a good thermal insulator. FSC approved timber will be used to ensure it has been obtained sustainably from well-maintained forests. Organic, renewable insulants such as sheep’s wool are used throughout the scheme to maintain thermal comfort sustainably. Highly sustainable biochar bricks are utilised in the basement production area and storage, as this area needs intensive humidity regulation and air-cleaning properties for the storage and preparation of produce. The bricks also provide insulation, improving thermal comfort. The bricks can be obtained from both Stirling and Pitlochry in Scotland, thus reducing transportation and fuel usage. Double glazing with low-e coated glass in windows dramatically reduces heat loss and thus decreases heating requirements.

Water Collection and Storage

An extended undulating roof canopy mimics the canal’s flowing water, tying the two buildings together and allowing for the collection of rainwater at an external harvesting point.  The roof sections angle towards a central pipe which captures collected rainwater and stores it underground, where it is transported to the plant room and filtered for use throughout the building. The presence of a water recycling system in the building’s fabric minimises water wastage and highlights sustainable practice.

Passive and Active Design Strategies

A geothermal heating system is utilised as a renewable, active heating resource. An efficient underfloor heating system is also employed to maintain thermal comfort in the assembly spaces during colder months. Large, pivoting doorways on the northern façade mimic the lock’s gates, and can be opened to ventilate and extend the Hub’s key spaces, allowing for adaptive use. The building is embedded into the ground on the south façade; thus, the thermal mass of the earth continues to heat the building through the night.

In conclusion, through careful consideration of sustainable practice, The UFEX at Maryhill provides a striking community resource where energy, landscape and culture can be celebrated.

The Bread Oven House in Cambridgeshire

The Bread Oven House, Cambridgeshire

BreadOven was the result of the desire to create a new focal point for the family to gather. A detached grade II listed building, on the edge of the former village green within a conservation area, originating from the 16th century, with 17th and 19th century additions, the original house is of timber-framed construction, rendered on a brick plinth, with a clay peg tiled roof to the front and a concrete plain tiled roof to the rear.

The original house was simple in plan, the materials, craftsmanship and architectural features of the period are clearly visible witin its structure, including six 19th century casement windows with cast iron latticed glazing bars, exposed timber framing, stop chamfered ceiling beams, and two inglenook hearths, one with sealed baking ovens.

To the wall of one first floor bedroom there are scratched markings, which read ‘Maudie Paine, Hardwick School’ who was found on the 1881 census.

The new extended part of the house is sited to follow the diagonal line of a historical external retaining wall. This deliberate design feature was used to ensure the new extension did not dominate the existing historical building or its setting within the conservation area and helped to connect new and old together. CDC studio offered a few itertations to suggest how the ‘new’ could latch onto the ‘old’ and the resulting rear hipped and end gable form was born.

The clients had a real love of ‘scandi’ architecture and embraced black vertical timber, and a dark zinc roof to create a real contrast of modern and old. Internally the driving force was the opening up of the orginal bread oven which on agreement with the conservaton officer had its enclosing external structure removed and its formed revealed within the space of the extension.

Care was taken to retain the ‘Bread Oven’ structure and clean the facing brickwork and plinth. It now stands proudly between the existing building and the new extension and has a new client use for drying bulbs.

The volume of the space is open, held together with delicate steel rods and glulam timber structure to enhance the feeling of light and space. Internally a window seat offers new views out toward the magnificent garden which the landscape gardener client is developing.

The internal flooring inspired from trips to the Barbican is a ketley brick extending out onto the raised patio and stepping down into the lower landscape. A lovely kitchen of oak with matt black nanopaint, and a thin Dekton worktop finish off the space.

The clients conclude “Building the extension has not only changed the feel and flow of the house, but it’s meant that we now use the other rooms in a much better way,”

Project Description:

The Third Ward Art District is a site redevelopment and adaptive reuse of an existing 1900s warehouse in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. The goal of the project is to develop an affordable community where artists can live, work, play, and prosper in company of artists of all mediums and restore the vibrant creative culture that is the foundation of Milwaukee’s Third Ward. The client expressed a desire to pursue a Net Zero or Net Zero Ready design. In order to fulfill the Net Zero goal, solar panels occupy 50% of new and existing roof area on site as well as green roofs on the apartment and studio buildings. An extensive stormwater management system consisting of rain gardens and retention basins can handle all run-off from new and existing roof structures on site for a 5” rain event with an additional 7,400 cubic feet of capacity for run-off from impervious surfaces on or near the site. Geo-thermal loops integrated into the concrete filled steel piles connect to VRF units in each apartment. For the artist apartments I developed a set of criteria for treatment of the brick façade which cantilevers over the ground floor. Wherever an opening or recess occurs in the brick skin, Prodema natural wood panels are exposed to reflect the heavy timber CLT and GluLam construction of the interior. At terminations, openings, and recesses of the brick a reveal detail occurs revealing the layered construction of the envelope while still concealing the thickness of the brick.

Design: PAD studio & Allan Murray Design

Location: Hampshire, South of England, UK

New Art Bunker, South England

PAD studio and Allan Murray Design have revealed ambitious concept designs for the Art Bunker, a new contemporary community arts hub on the South Coast of England.

The Art Bunker was conceptualised to provide a local community in Hampshire with a renewed arts and cultural centre. The Art Bunker features a primary gallery space for exhibitions, and a secondary large studio below ground level that has the flexibility to accommodate both exhibitions, lectures, and workshops.

PAD studio has collaborated with place-making specialist Allan Murray of Allan Murray Design, who has completed award winning public, education, and urban design projects across the UK.

The Art Bunker is directly inspired by the powerful geometries and angular remains of historic military fortifications on the Hampshire coast. The dramatic, modern form is wrapped in a slick metallic skin and features sweeping glazed elevations. A landscaped forecourt permeates the centre of the plan separating the exhibition hall, workshop/studio, and entrance hall, and opening onto a sprawling publicly accessible sculpture garden.

The Art Bunker embodies PAD studio’s signature approach to sustainable architecture. Recycled and locally sourced materials and low embodied carbon strategies are fundamental to the design. PAD studio has designed an exposed glulam structure that is low in embodied carbon and can be dismantled, adapted, and reconstructed in the future. Metal cladding panels sit on an insulated stressed plywood skin which can be recycled at the end of the building life. The Glasscrete lime floor is made from 100% recycled glass with a natural lime topping. Lime re-absorbs carbon dioxide emissions during the production process. The materials re-carbonate carbon dioxide over its in-use phase, creating a complete life cycle, closed-loop process, sequestering carbon. The Art Bunker utilises a ground source heat pump system to deliver renewable energy into the building and back to the grid.

Wendy Perring, Director at PAD studio says: “During the pandemic communities lost access to art as an expression of unique cultural identity and civic pride, we learned to love public spaces and our freedom to dwell and reflect in them. The Art Bunker is an inspiring place for the community to gather, learn and interact in the process of making, discussing and exploring all things creative.”

LEERS WEINZAPFEL ASSOCIATES - University of Massachusetts Amherst Design Building

https://www.archdaily.com/872034/university-of-massachusetts-amherst-design-building-leers-weinzapfel-associates

One of the most advanced mass timber projects in the U.S.—a four-story, 87,500-square-foot building comprised of innovative wood systems. Designed to bring students of architecture, landscape architecture and building construction under one roof, the Design Building is itself a teaching tool. The structure, which includes a glulam beam-and-column frame, glulam brace frame and CLT shear walls, is largely left exposed, as are many of the MEP systems. Features also include an advanced timber-concrete composite floor system, researched in part by the UMass Amherst Building Construction Technology program, and a unique timber-steel composite zipper truss. Spanning an 84-foot-long atrium with a rooftop garden above, the zipper truss must accommodate heavy loads both from wet soil and snowfall. Use of mass timber allowed the team to demonstrate key aspects of wood design, including fire resistance, acoustic control, energy efficiency and sustainability. For more information, read the WoodWorks case study on this project under Publications. 87,500 sf / Type IV Construction.
