MJP Architects Roof, external wall and inglenook
Te structure supporting the steel and timber roof consists of eight cruciform steel columns supporting longitudinal composite I-beams formed with channels. Tis enables the roof to float over a non-loadbearing external envelope conceived as a series of pieces of furniture that form alcoves capped by a continuous cornice. Tis gives rigidity to the assembly, and reflects daylight under the roof. Te joinery envelope perches on the upstand at the edge of the concrete raft framing alcoves for seating and kitchen units and ensuring that, externally, the oak cladding stops short of the ground. Te focus of the interior is the inglenook, which is conceived as a small room within the larger scale of the main space. Tis enables the main space to be subdivided by two large hinged screen doors which fold into the sides of the structure. Sliding folding shutters above the stove serve the same purpose. A concealed clerestorey provides acoustic separation between the cornice and the underside of the roof.
Like the alcoves at the perimeter,
this structure is articulated as a framed enclosure separate from the oversailing cornice. Te cruciform steel columns supporting the roof are embedded in the joinery from which they emerge through apertures in the cornice. Tis intricacy was inspired by the trellises and screens in Maggie Keswick Jenck’s book Te Chinese Garden. Richard MacCormac, chairman, MJP
