EXTERNALLY THE BUILDING’S UPPER LEVEL HAS BEEN CLAD IN AN ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTA WITH A ROBUST BASE/PLINTH OF ARCHITECTURAL MASONRY. Materials have been chosen for their longevity and simplicity. Externally the building’s upper level has been clad in an architectural terracotta with a robust base/plinth of architectural masonry. To blur the distinction between the inside and outside, these materials have been continued within the building and are complemented by a steel frame. Concrete has been left exposed to give a simple distinctive appearance, with exposed cross- laminated timber adding a tactile warmth. Photos: Martine Hamilton Knight, Make Architects
