The Wood Farm Residential Annexe designed by rodney black design studios is located in Ipswich, United Kingdom. The specific building type is the green oak barn, examples of which are still standing and sound after 800 years. This design evolves the type by tectonic treatment of the interconnecting spaces, the use of purlin arch brace arcades to give the roof structure a fugal rhythm and by the outshot mezzanines which allude to an aisled barn structure and create a spatial dialogue within the main space. The construction is largely of timber – green (by which is meant freshly felled and sawn) oak and softwood weatherboards together with natural clay products with a very long life span and reusability on eventual demolition; it has very high levels of insulation and windows with argon filled double glazing and low emissivity glass.
