THE POETICS OF TIMBER
An annex to the main five-storey house, this structure stretches over several zones with different category I low-rise residential zone height regulations, so the architect decided on an airy horizontal wooden building. The exposed timber frame has two-storey posts, and the roof structure has 90 by 90mm timber struts at different angles of rotation, so that each level is both unusual and spacious.
