PROJECT Marsk Tower, a new sculptural landmark and lookout point in Southern Jutland, Denmark, is now officially open to the public, providing a new gathering place in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Wadden Sea National Park. The 25-meter-high Marsk Tower – translated as “Marsh Tower” due to its location in the marshlands of Denmark’s popular National Park, Wadden Sea – offers expansive views of the natural environment. Appearing as a sculptural art object rising out of the landscape, Marsk Tower will function as an observation lookout that facilitates community as a key tourist landmark. A wheelchairaccessible tower, an elevator located in the core of the tower provides access via the ground level ramp. The tower’s simple design, defined by Corten steel materiality, exudes a natural aesthetic that blends with the surrounding environment while simultaneously becoming a new, visible destination in Denmark. “Marsk tower is a testament to our two decades-long friendship and collaboration with the blacksmiths of Schacks Trapper,” says Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group. “The double helix provides two stairs and an elevator with a single stack of rotating steel steps, allowing visitors to ascend and descend in a single
BIG worked on the design for the observation tower as part of a local partnership with Marsk Camp Group to create an experiential destination that presents the unique landscape from a new perspective, to tourists all over the world. Wadden Sea National Park is one of the last remaining large-scale intertidal ecosystems in the world and is widely known for its unique natural environment of sea, dune, woods, heaths, fauna, and wildlife. “Our ambition is to elevate Southern Jutland’s tourism experience to a new level and present this unique landscape from a new perspective to tourists from all over the world. Marsk Tower affirms this goal, celebrating the contextuality of Wadden Sea National Park’s unique landscape and the Wadden Sea as a UNESCO World Heritage Site to be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike,” explains Jørgen Hansen, Marsk Camp. Observation Tower provides 360-degree views “Because of the earth curvature, visitors will gradually expand their view of the horizon while walking to the top of the tower. On the foot of the tower, you will be able to see 4 km into the distance, but from the top of the tower the view is expanded to an 18 km view into the horizon,” says Jakob Lange, Architect and Partner, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group. “The stairs widen at the top of the tower, creating a 110 meter-squared lookout spot with views stretching to city of Esbjerg, the Islands Rømø and Sylt, and beyond the Wadden Sea to the North Sea.”
Together with the nearby wind turbines, the tower’s height of 36-meters above sea level will make it a visual landmark in the region. The 12-hectare area around Southern Jutland’s new landmark, in addition to the 25-meter-high lookout tower, will comprise Marsk Camp, a tourist destination that includes restaurants, a mini golf course, glamping tents, an icehouse, and accommodations for up to 126 motorhomes, with room to expand. Marsk Tower is just one of BIG’s many recent Denmark-based projects that allow architecture to facilitate a relationship between visitors and the natural world. On the west coast, 90 kilometers north of Marsk Tower, is Tirpitz - a museum in the sand that acts as a gentle counterbalance to the dramatic war history of the site in Blåvand. Nestled in dunes at the coastline of the island Fanø, BIG is also working on the Lycium – a museum dedicated to the nature of Fanø and the Wadden Sea. Continued >>>

It was a dream that was 10 years in the making for Julia and Mano Nadarajah. Located on the outskirts of Grantham and in the heart of Lincolnshire, you will find a beautiful extended Gatehouse. Steeped in history, restored with love and surrounded by rolling hills and open countryside, the property is built using local stone from the nearby Ancaster Stone quarry.
March/April
Built in 1871 on behalf of Frederick William Allix as part of the Willoughby Hall estate, the original gatehouse was used to keep watch for approaching coaches through the small arrow slits that remain a feature to this day. The estate was divided up and sold to several different buyers over the years before the gate lodge landed in the hands of Mano in 1985.

Not wanting to rush the project that was set to become their “forever home together” Julia and Mano carefully thought out every decision they made regarding their gatehouse home. Wanting to keep as many of the original features as possible they decided to convert their 3 car garage into a temporary home while the process began in 2010. Planning for the home was a relatively quick process for the couple, but their commitment to sourcing local trades and businesses with a great reputation took more time. Over the next two years a phrase would become very important, ‘vigila et ora’ meaning – keep watch and pray, a motto Julia held close to her heart from her days at Bourne Grammar School.
Staying true to those words, Julia and Mano watched as their dreams came to life. Taking time to walk through the space and carefully consider every decision they made, from how to efficiently heat their house through to the windows that would best compliment their home. When starting the process of looking into the windows and doors to add to their vision they knew it had to be a Lincolnshire business that would deliver the finishing touch to their dream. Reputation was crucial to the couple and George Barnsdale answered the door. ‘I knew as soon as I walked into the factory that George Barnsdale was going to be our supplier. Seeing how well presented the factory was and how the team listened to our requests, everything just felt right.’ Julia commented. After long discussions with the George Barnsdale technical team, Julia and Mano decided to opt for 8 bespoke timber flush casement windows, adding classic black monkey tail handles together with 4 sets of French doors, all finished to match Farrow and Ball Savage Ground. ‘We debated it and chose not to have trickle vents added to the windows to help with heat retention, settling for a heat recovery ventilation system. That being said, we’ve noticed there is less dust accumulating which makes cleaning a lot easier.’ Mano, an engineer and project
manager by profession, was conscious of every decision that was made for their home renovation, down to the precise details of the windows. Adding black spacer bars so as not to draw attention to the double glazing, the slim profile of the casement windows, the beautiful views from the bedroom window and you have a picture perfect frame to wake up to in the morning. The doors of the property were also carefully debated so they were in keeping with the overall theme of the house, fitted with Kirkpatrick hardware and finished with paint to match Farrow and Ball ‘French Grey’ the end result is elegant and understated chic. Having been part of the property since its completion, the windows and doors are now 10 years old, still in great condition showing no signs of requiring redecoration. While being low maintenance the owners still take great care of them cleaning them on a regular basis with deionized water and no chemicals.

‘One thing we have definitely noticed is how well the windows keep the noise of the main road out!’ Julia laughed. Being a stone’s throw from the A153 means that often there can be a high volume of traffic, sometimes including lorries, during busy times of day. The added benefit of noise being reduced inside adds to the serenity of this beautiful Lincolnshire home. Julia and Mano were able to move into their home on Christmas Eve 2012, completing the values that Mano lives by ‘Esto perpetua’ meaning be thou forever, his old school motto that stayed with him from his St Thomas’ College days in Ceylon.
May/June
When asked to sum up their experience with George Barnsdale the couple said, ‘the windows and doors are just perfection. Countryside perfection! There isn’t another word to describe them.’

September/October
Market leading roofing manufacturer, Sika, has launched a complete Green Roof package, supplying both the high performance roof waterproofing system and the green roof system, all backed by its trusted technical and application support. Specifiers can now go to Sika’s roofing experts for the full spectrum of roofing technologies, from hot melt structural waterproofing and reinforced bituminous membranes to single ply and cold-applied liquid membranes, depending on what is best for the project in question, all

In addition, green roofs can also reduce noise penetrating through the roof, energy use and building running costs, all while extending the life of the waterproofing underneath. It has been suggested that in some cases that a building with a green roof installed may never need a new roof (Aldred 2019) — a significant consideration when calculating the whole life cycle sustainability of building materials. Sarah Peake, Sika’s Sustainability Manager, said: “The construction of new buildings can play a huge role in contributing to the world’s sustainability targets and green roofs are part of the solution. The fact that the green roof market is growing by approximately 17 percent per year speaks for itself. “Thanks to its numerous eco-benefits, a Sika Green Roof can help architects hit sustainable development targets and achieve an improved rating from schemes such as BREEAM and WELL, which are instrumental in helping us build for a better future.” As a global company, Sika’s dedication to the environment is of utmost importance. The company’s robust Sustainability Strategy is focused on the principle of ‘More value, less impact’ and as members of the United Nations Global Compact, Sika has aligned its activities to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As well as offering a whole host of sustainable solutions for the construction industry, of which green roofing is just one example, it also implements a holistic approach with targets covering climate performance, local communities, reduced resource consumption and occupational safety.

Sika not only supplies all the materials required for the whole green roofing project, it also lends its invaluable expertise and support throughout. The Sika Roofing team are on hand to aid with initial design, technical calculations and specification through to installation, site inspections and final sign off. Further peace of mind is achieved thanks to Sika’s UK-wide network of Certified Roofing Contractors, all fully trained to deliver high quality results. With sustainable development a key focus in construction, backed by the government and local authorities, the benefits of a Sika Green Roof cannot be overstated. Multiple studies have shown that green roofing systems can improve air quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, maintain or even increase biodiversity, improve a building’s thermal performance and manage stormwater throughout the year — particularly important in areas of flooding or where Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are a design consideration.
