structural elements; external envelope Roofshield at Quartermile, Edinburgh  


Quartermile is a mixed use development comprising Grade A office buildings, retail and leisure space and luxury apartments. The architects did not have to travel far to find this solution however, as the Roofshield air and vapour permeable underlay specified is supplied by the A. Proctor Group, based just 60 miles away in


Blairgowrie, Perthshire. By combining the highest available vapour permeability with an air open structure which permits greater airflow than conventional ventilation, Roofshield ensures condensation problems are reduced or eliminated in even the most complex roof geometry. Roofshield is fully BBA certified, and accepted for use without additional ridge ventilation by the NHBC.

Metsä Wood’s design challenge


Environmentally friendly, easy to work with, adaptable, and extremely cost effective – these were just some of the major benefits of working with modern engineered timber, as defined by some of the UK’s leading architects, at a recent event hosted by London South Bank University (LSBU). The ‘Urban Wood: An Alternative Architecture’ event was attended by more than 100 practitioners, as well as architecture students and professors, in a collaborative project between Metsä Wood and LSBU. The purpose of the event was to present and discuss alternatives to preferred materials, such as concrete, steel and brick. The event also marked the launch of an innovative design project between Metsä Wood and architectural students at LSBU. Students have been challenged to identify how timber, (as a more cost effective and flexible building material), could be used to restore old or iconic buildings in London.
