My Space TNG

Value: £4m

Location: Lewisham

 

Contractors: Mansell Construction Services

 

Client: London Borough of Lewisham

A new community space over two floors incorporating sports courts, a climbing wall, studios and ancillary spaces. The building is set into the ground to minimise its impact on the adjacent urban setting.

 

We used cross laminated timber for the wall and floor panels to minimise carbon content, to reduce weight and foundation impact and to allow the visual expression of raw timber. Within this we’ve integrated some construction efficiencies such as timber floor cassettes and glulam beams.  Translucent external cladding is used to give the building a lightness of impact.
