Primary Frame for Marconi Centre, Poldhu (National Trust)

We worked with the Architects during the detailing stage, designing the frame and sourcing the timber. Our workshop were named Subcontractors to build the frame and we were on a time penalty to finish the job.
Matt Robinson organised the sourcing and processing of the National Trust’s own timber resource to clad the building - 22 chestnut trees from Trelissick were felled, sawn and stacked for the cladding.

Materials: Larch , Douglas Fir & Chestnut (Devon & Cornwall)
Architect: Nick Donaldson, PDP Greene
