When TMV architects wanted to create a compact but stylish office on their plot, a SterlingOSB Zero feature wall was key to the unique design<\/h2>\n

In need of a bigger space to work from, TMV architects harnessed its own team\u2019s design and build skills to create an office using a combination of West Fraser\u2019s SterlingOSB Zero<\/a> and corrugated metal.<\/p>\n

Six years ago, the fledgling practice had outgrown its annex accommodation above a garage in the home of one of its directors and \u201cwe wanted our own building; something to give us an identity and space to accommodate clients.\u201d explains Thomas Mann, a director.<\/p>\n

The plot was previously occupied by a disused BT repeater station building<\/h3>\n

Today, the brick repeater station building has been replaced with TMV’s new office, a simple black, single-storey metal-clad contemporary building, complete with a pitched roof to accommodate a mezzanine floor.<\/p>\n

With the exception of two car parking spaces at the front, the new office almost fills the Cambridgeshire plot.<\/p>\n

Energy efficient and cost effective<\/h3>\n

Budget was a major constraint regarding the new building so TMV’s design is based on a superstructure of locally-manufactured structurally insulated panels (SIPs). The panels consist of a 140mm insulating foam core sandwiched between two SterlingOSB Zero sheathing boards.<\/p>\n

The result is a building system that is extremely strong and energy efficient. \u201cWe designed the office<\/a> with a large, vaulted roof which, if built traditionally, would have required a lot of expensive steelwork. However, because vaulted roofs are relatively easy to construct using SIPS, all we needed was a couple of timber posts,\u201d explains Mann.<\/p>\n

The simple SIPs walls, cald in block corrugated metal sheets, rise from an insulated concrete raft foundation. The uncomplicated design meant very few contractors were needed; this allowed the practice to project manage construction. With the foundation slab cast, a single contractor assembled the SIP-walls and pitched roof. Within a week, the shell was up and wrapped in a membrane so that the building was effectively watertight.<\/p>\n

The SterlingOSB feature wall continues the office’s modern industrial aesthetic<\/h3>\n

The SterlingOSB Zero<\/a> feature wall’s textured, organic finish is given additional emphasis by the crisp white plaster used to finish the adjoining walls.<\/p>\n

Mann says visitors often walk into the office and say ‘wow’, simply because OSB is a material they are not used to seeing in a full-height gable wall context. The SterlingOSB Zero feature wall has also been given illuminated TMV branding.<\/p>\n
