The Big Roof, Forest School Camps

Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, Europe

Completed · Education · Low-Carbon Timber Utility Building · Temperate · 2024

A 745 sqm single-storey storage, teaching, dining and equipment-repair building for a children's camping charity in the Cambridgeshire Fens, replacing three dilapidated agricultural sheds. A seven-metre 'lantern' bay projects above the roofline so tents can be hung to dry year-round. The timber building was delivered for the same cost as an equivalent steel-frame shed.
