Outside Comfort Zone WINTER 2018 BUILDING DESIGN, IDEAS & SOLUTIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR CLIENTS


Welcome to the first edition of Outside Comfort Zone in 2018. The first job of the new year is to finish a story that we started in 2017. Inside is a case study on our prestigious installation of bespoke solar powered canopies that form part of the new transport hub at Bournemouth University. This project clearly demonstrates the power of linking great design


Tailor Made


In the last edition of OCZ we featured entrance canopies and how different systems can provide individual solutions to suit the needs of the building, its use and the statement it wants to make to the outside world. Many of those were standard applications but sometimes only a customised approach will do. The images here show how our timber system, the Tarnhow, can be adapted to provide an elegant and practical entrance area that not only act as signposts to visitors but also provide a significant amount of practical shelter.


and new technologies to provide long term, sustainable benefits.


We also look at some new ideas around brackets and fixings that could help you overcome some of your canopy challenges, review the latest report from NBS on BIM and provide some new ideas on using materials and design to transform outside space.
