Garden House, London

In place of a 1960s bungalow, a new pavilion and two underground storeys were built to create a new house on a hidden garden plot. Externally, the most visible feature of the house is its pavilion-like, copper-clad roof.

Inside, the roof consists of a complex glulam construction made of spruce wood, the double curvature of which ends in a glazed oculus. The roof floats above a glass living room, which gives a feeling of lightness and connects the interior of the house with the surrounding garden and urban environment.

The scope of work covered by ZÜBLIN Timber included the design, manufacture and installation of the timber roof structure, including the complex and double-curved glulam beams.
