David Nossiter Architects

The site of Church Hill Barn, by David Nossiter Architects, situated on the Essex/Suffolk borders within the landscape immortalised by Constable was originally the home farm of the nearby estate, destroyed by fire in the 1950s. It consists of a collection of farm buildings forming a courtyard. The centrepiece of the site with views over the rural landscape is a large barn of cathedral-like proportions.

WARMTH, WELLBEING AND WOW FACTOR

Foster + Partners

A major and ultra-prestigious application in the City of London could really put U.S. red oak on the European map. Until now, the European market must have been something of a frustration for U.S. red oak suppliers. The species is America’s most prolific hardwood, so, in those terms, its most sustainable. In the U.S. itself it is used extensively in a huge range of construction, interiors and manufacturing applications, while other markets, such as China and Japan, also cannot get enough. But in Europe, red oak has lagged some way behind its ubiquitous U.S. white cousin in popularity.
