COMMERCIAL PROJECT OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
ASSOCIATED ARCHITECTS: CYBER QUARTER
Cyber Quarter is a trailblazing multi-purpose centre of excellence in a highly sustainable building, utilising a CLT frame, timber finishes, and striking glulam structure. It aspires to be at the forefront tackling the ever-growing threats in cyberspace and will act as a catalyst for the ongoing development of the local cyber economy. Located within Skylon Business Park’s Enterprise Zone, the building is constructed using a glulam and CLT frame of Silver Fir, Larch, and Spruce from managed sources, with a high quality exposed visual timber finish.
CARPENTER OAK: BRIXTON WINDMILL
Before the industrial revolution, the boroughs of London featured around 300 windmills. Built in 1816, Brixton Windmill is now London’s only working windmill. Squire & Partners worked with structural timber frame specialists Carpenter Oak to design and build the simple, versatile space that can accommodate school groups, adult education initiatives and community groups. As an operational mill, the new timber framed building supports the expansion of production to sell flour to local businesses, as well as running baking workshops.
HEYNE TILLETT STEEL: 16 CHART STREET
16 Chart Street is a redevelopment of a 1930s Hoxton warehouse. The project utilised timber to create contemporary and adaptable office space whilst retaining almost all of the original structural fabric. Using CLT panels and hardwood LVL beams, the four-storey building has been extended sideways over a new undercroft entrance, and upwards with the addition of a new third floor level.
PARAMOUNT STRUCTURES: LVL WAREHOUSE
This is the first warehouse of it size constructed using only LVL and softwood. Timber has been used to create a large, storage facility that combines functionality and the warm aesthetics of exposed wood. The roof is supported on LVL purlins and the walls are infill standard studwork panels. The end bays are crossed braced with LVL and the moment resisting eaves connections on the portal frames are pure timber bolted joints.
TAYLOR LANE TIMBER FRAME:
SHELL STORE, HEREFORD’S ROTHERWAS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
Built in the First World War as a munition’s factory, and later used as an ordnance site during the Second World War, it had lain empty and derelict for more than 50 years. As an ‘enterprise zone’, Skylon Park was keen to bring the building back into productive economic use with any development needing to be sensitive to its heritage. Beneath its roofline, following a £7.3 million redevelopment, sits 2,500 sq. metres of flexible and lettable business space housed within insulated timber frame pods.
