Description
Glenshesk House is an ambitious project centered around the creation of an architecturally striking timber frame house, characterized by its complex geometry. Nestled in an area of outstanding natural beauty, this endeavor exemplifies a harmonious blend of sustainability and design innovation.
Timber and Concrete Composite Construction
The project embraces a forward-thinking approach with the utilization of a timber and concrete composite floor construction.
This innovative choice combines the sustainable benefits of timber frame construction with the added acoustics and dynamic advantages that concrete construction offers.
