PUBLICATIONS

We both produce and share a large number of resources to help highlight how wood can help us towards more sustainable construction, which absorbs and stores carbon, and creates more beautiful buildings, using quicker, quieter methods.

Case Studies

Studio RHE Wood Farm

Sustainable materials, in keeping with the rural Suffolk setting, were chosen by Studio RHE Architects for the creation of Wood Farm, an uncompromisingly modern design with high sustainability standards, sympathetically rendered to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape of barns and farmland.

Tonkin Liu Architects SUN RAIN ROOMS

Created as an extension to a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse in London, the Sun Rain Rooms, designed by Tonkin Liu Architects in collaboration with local craftspeople, serve as a studio for the practice as well a part of the partners’ home.

Cullinan Studios Baldwin Terrace Residential

Making the most of this sunny canal-side location, architects Cullinan Studios converted an original 19th century warehouse office building into a low-energy workspace for their practice, combined with 12 two-bedroom apartments in the other half of the building, which is situated on a south-facing stretch of London’s Regent’s Canal.

Arboreal Architecture Bucharest

As part of a three-storey retrofit in south west London, Arboreal Architecture created an innovative solution to adding volume on the uppermost floor. A curved glulam timber roof structure adds both height and character to the space, curving with the rising of the roof to create a generous space.

Paper House Project Oliphant Street

Paper House Project architects used timber frame construction for a less carbon-intensive solution when re-building an extension to this Victorian property in London. Timber frame presented an adaptable solution when it came to the party wall, and was easier for contractors to manage through the only access, which was through the front of the mid-terrace house.
