Wych Elm, South Stoke, Bath
A large bespoke two storey dwelling positioned on a steep site giving impressive views across Wiltshire.
The external wall panels were constructed using a 140mm frame. Floors were formed using 240mm ‘I’ joists with a 22mm peel clean chipboard floor deck. The large cantilevered roof was constructed using a combination of 245mm IWS joists and large glulam sections, all supported on numerous steel posts & beams.
The open plan layout and large glazed elevations required a complex engineered package, our combination of timber frame and integrated steel members certainly achieved the desired end result.
