Small project / big challenge

Wood for Good is the timber industry’s campaign to promote use of wood in design and construction. Wood is nature’s most versatile building material and modern engineering methods expand possibilities for its application beyond traditional uses. Our objective is to make wood a first choice material for specifiers and designers by demonstrating what you can do with wood.

Wood for Good

Small projects often pose big challenges. The devil is in the detail, and so is the design genius. The award winning Hen House is a prime example.
Situated on a steep, wooded plot, with a large proportion of the site area covered by a tree protection order for the woodland's landscape value and significant overlooking issues into or from the existing dwelling the brief presented challenging. 
Hear from the architect and engineer, how the design team approached the task to deliver this model solution for a small dwelling on a difficult site whilst achieving near Passivhaus levels of insulation!
