The Timber Prefabrication Facility
Patrick Connall
The timber prefabrication panel production facility at Mitford is nestled into the old water treatment site just off the A1. The industrial past is embraced in the design of the new industrial unit. The buildings proposed for the site take on innovative industrial forms through both material choice and overall lifespan on the site. Both buildings look to set an example for the possibilities of using timber as a building material. Over 70% of both buildings are made from timber. Furthermore the office block is constructed of panels produced by the warehouse building.
The facility is a standing representation of the possibilities of timber prefabricated production in construction.
