millfield house, jesmond denemosedale gillatt architects

This project is a sensitive extension to the existing Millfield house. The natural timber facade blends well with the blockwork wall and the woodland behind.The verticality of the thin timber slats is reminiscent of the trees and this is further iterated by the grass roof, which can be viewed as a tree’s canopy.

While the timber cladding and blockwork wall are a clear boundary the transparency of the glass walled entrance to the visitor centre and cafe have a welcoming influence.

I plan to eminate these values in my gatehouse concept. The building will sit atop the rotunda and stretch across the current entrance. The first floor elements will have a solid elevation, perhaps a timber cladding, and the ground level elevation will be an inviting glass. This will permit views straight through the entrance into the gardens.

river and rowing museum, henley-on-thamesdavid chipperfield

Having explored millfield house I was intent on creating a timber building, but the stained timber cladding felt un-natural.

David Chipperfield’s River and Rowing museum is clad in English green oak. Due to its high durability oak does not need staining and as such has a much more natural aesthetic.

cascade house, torontopaul raff

Casecade House is an environmentally concious design, both in sense of its situation and its sustainability. The house maximises natural daylight through expansive windows on the southern face and has a high performance building envelope.

On the streetside a crenellated pattern of glass elements creates a sculptural screen allowing maximum daylight while maintaining privacy. From the interior this has an ethereal light quality.

Slate blocks clad both the outside and elements of the interior which in cooperation with the large windows blur the boundary between between the interior and exterior. They also serve an environmental purpose, during the day they absorb energy from the sunlight incident upon them and at night the thermal mass maintains a constant temperature throughout the house.

I plan to use a style similar to this for my cookhouse concept, using local slates I will create an environmentally sustainable building with natural lighting and ventilation. By siting it in the

forest I will maximise sunlight in the winter when the trees are bear but during the summer where warmth is not so necessary the trees canopies will shade the cookhouse.

archaeolink visitor centre, aberdeenshireedward cullinan architects

Edward Cullinan did a superb job in blending the visitor centre into the Archaeolink living history park. The building is set into a conical hill reducing its visual impact on the site of archaeological importance. The leading paths and sharp rectilinear facade are still obvious to visitors, and much like with Millfield House the use of a glass facade beckons visitors inside.

The effectiveness of the building’s environmental strategy means it shouldn’t need heating during the winter. The thermal mass of ground surrounding the building trap heat and maintain a steady temperature. During summer months the higher sunlight angle is shaded by brise soleil reducing the solar gain.

My brewery concept will follow a very similar concept, the majority of the building will be sunken into the garden with paths leading to the clearly defined public entrance. Steel hoppers will rise above the building and provide the only visual

clue that a building exists here. The dramatic industrial hoppers and the rest of the building hidden below soft grass banks will be a corruption of aesthetics giving the brewery a distinctive visual identity.

29Site Strategy

alex steffen (ed.) (2011) worldchanging, revised and updated: a user’s guide for the 21st century. new york: abrams

Like big green sponges, our lawns suck up water, fertilizer, pesticides, and money, and if we leave them alone for too long, they start to look sad until we give them some more. According to NASA’s Ames Research Center, lawns are the largest irrigated crop in the United States.

The typical lawn has almost nothing to do with nature. A dense carpet of overbred alien grasses, usually coated with toxins it keeps competitor plants (like villainious dandelions) withering before they sprout. Almost nothing “natural“ can survive there. The average lawn makes an overgrown abandoned lot look like a rainforest.

The paths throughout the new masterplan are designed to appear anarchic to achieve this I overlayed the site with a constellation map to identify nodes and then drew paths between these. The result was a central path leading directly to the brewhouse with other paths providing longer walks between different features and experiences.

62Final Concept

Seaton Delaval GatehouseFinal Concept

The masterplan aims to bring the walled garden back to true nature through the introduction of a wild meadow. Seaton Delaval Hall already has garden spaces of all descriptions: a grand lawn at the front of the property, at the rear there’s a rose garden, a formal garden with fountain, pond, willow lawn and flower beds. The only thing missing from these estate is true nature.

WorldChanging views that ‘the typical lawn has almost nothing to do with nature’ they’re a ‘carpet of overbred alien grasses, usually coated with toxins it keeps competitor plants (like villainious dandelions) withering before they sprout. Almost nothing “natural“ can survive there. The average lawn makes an overgrown abandoned lot look like a rainforest’ (WorldChanging, 2011).

The paths throughout the new masterplan are designed to appear anarchic to achieve this I overlayed the site with a constellation map to identify nodes and then drew paths between these. The result was a central path leading directly to the brewhouse with other paths providing longer walks between different features and experiences.

The Gatehouse is designed to maximise the views across this wild garden and in the form of a literal gatehouse spanning from the existing stone rotunda. The rough stone – accentuated by 300 years of weathering – hint at nature, with vines climbing through the mortar, as if trying to reclaim the stone.

The rotunda is at the centre of the design and two other entities satellite from it, connected by a glazed entrance and atrium.

As you approach the entrance the glazing permits clear views through enticing the visitor into the wild gardens. The entrance connects the gift shop and the atrium via a glazed ramp – raising the floor level to that of the ha ha (1.2 m above the origin). The atrium connects the exhibition/conference space located inside the existing rotunda and, to the south, the staff offices and changing above the education space and public WC.

The materiality was inspired by the Millfield House Visitor Centre at Jesmond Dene, however the Gatehouse has a more rustic, natural texture and colour inspired by the Henley-on-Thames River and Rowing Museum by David Chipperfield.

The composition of the cladding and fenestration is that of verticality, drawing influence from the trees around the site. The Gatehouse maintains a conservative and environmentally considerate nature, respecting the principles of the Natural Trust.

SUSPENDED FLOOR

There are generally two types of suspended timber floors, standard timber joists and engineered timber joists. Warmafloor can provide a system for both applications.

STANDARD JOISTS

Standard joists-normally 400-450 centers-. Supporting battens are fitted between joists upon which rigid insulation is installed. Pipework is installed on the insulation and circuited via joist notching back to the manifold.

Should the joists be interspaced with steel beams or other obstacles it is recommended to over batten the joists. This provides a clear space in which the underfloor circuits can run without joist notching or other structural clashes. Rigid floor insulation is installed as normal between the joists and the Warmafloor underfloor system is fitted easily within the batten height and the flooring is finally fitted. For ground floor applications the insulation between joists must be to part L Building regulations and the insulation must be tightly fitted to stop any air ingress from below. On upper floors 25mm Celotex or similar insulation should be used.
