Maggie's Center, Oldham

At the Maggie’s Centre in Oldham, timber is a key design element of the building. Materiality, construction and spatial impact all shape the architectural concept in equal measure.

Timber construction defines the appearance of the interior spaces and contributes to the architectural design.

Walls and roof surfaces have been finished with exposed timber surfaces. The Tulipwood cross-laminated timber is characterised by a delicate and varied surface texture, which forms an essential part of the interior design concept.

The slatted ceiling was made from offcuts from the cross-laminated timber production process. This enabled existing materials to be reused within the project.
