Rookwood
Rookwood
A
harmonious blend of standing seam aluminium, clay tile roofing, black stained
timber boarding, brick, flint, and glass results in an artful fusion that
perfectly complements one another. The Oak frame, now a silver-grey hue,
gracefully melds with the surroundings, creating a cohesive link with the
landscape.
Substantial
glazing, set apart from the Oak frame, rests within a steel framework to ensure
stability of the expansive glass panels. Water introduces a gentle vitality,
enhancing the architectural form with a harmonious interplay.
Modern
scissor braced trusses, adorned with black painted tendons, fashion a
captivating atrium that captivates the eye. A pergola provides a shaded haven
for al fresco dining. Observe the steel flitch plates integrated into the post
bases, extending through the decking to the concrete pad foundations. This
strategic placement elevates the timber above the splash zone, contributing to
its prolonged lifespan. The overall composition is a testament to thoughtful
design and skilful execution, creating a symbiotic relationship between
architectural elements and the natural environment.
