The site is located by an historic sweet chestnut coppice and our concept was to incorporate this timber wherever possible. For the first time in the UK Sweet Chestnut glulaminate timber beams have been used throughout construction. As there was insufficient published data available for our engineers to calculate dimensions and connection details, Inwood Developments made beams for BRE testing. The results from these successful tests, were then transferred into the engineer's specification. For details visit www.bre.co.uk
