A New Cabin for Malvern Primary School
In the bustling city of Liverpool, Timber Building Specialists have successfully completed another impressive project, crafting a 10m x 4m cabin for Malvern Primary School. This cabin represents our second collaboration with the school, reinforcing our reputation for delivering high-quality, bespoke timber solutions. The project not only highlights our commitment to superior craftsmanship but also our dedication to supporting educational environments with practical and aesthetic architectural solutions.
Project Overview
Superior Construction and Materials
At the core of this project is the use of 68mm logs, chosen for their robustness and excellent insulating properties. The choice of logs is crucial, providing the structural integrity needed for a long-lasting building while ensuring that the internal climate remains stable, regardless of the weather outside. This structural choice contributes significantly to the cabin's ability to serve as a year-round educational facility.
The cabin’s design includes a fully insulated floor and roof, further enhancing its ability to maintain a comfortable temperature. Insulation is a key element in creating a conducive learning environment, ensuring that the space remains warm in winter and cool in summer, thus promoting a focus on education without the distraction of external weather conditions.
Weatherproofing and Finish
In a city known for its unpredictable weather, it was imperative to provide the cabin with robust weatherproofing. The installation of EPDM rubber roofing and guttering ensures exceptional resistance to rain, wind, and other elements, significantly extending the cabin's lifespan. EPDM is renowned for its durability and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for educational buildings that require minimal maintenance.
The application of a clear preserver treatment both inside and outside the cabin serves a dual purpose. It not only lends the wood a sleek, polished finish but also acts as a protective layer against moisture, UV rays, and other potential environmental hazards. This treatment is essential in maintaining the cabin’s aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time.
Modern Aesthetics
The visual appeal of the log cabin is enhanced by the pre-painted doors and windows in a sophisticated Anthracite finish. This contemporary colour choice provides a striking contrast to the natural tones of the timber, creating a modern look that is both appealing and functional. The pre-painted finishes ensure longevity and reduce the need for regular upkeep, which is a practical consideration for busy school environments.
To add the finishing touches, little deck trims were incorporated into the design. These trims not only enhance the cabin’s visual appeal but also provide practical benefits, such as offering a neat transition between the building and its surrounding environment.
Collaboration and Impact
A Space for Learning and Growth
Malvern Primary School's new cabin is more than just a building; it is a space designed to inspire and nurture young minds. The cabin serves as a dedicated library area, providing a quiet, comfortable environment for reading and learning. The availability of such a resource is invaluable, encouraging students to engage with books and educational activities in a space specifically tailored to their needs.
The design of the cabin reflects our understanding of educational spaces and their impact on learning. By providing a warm, inviting atmosphere, we aim to foster an environment where students feel motivated to explore and discover.
Customer Satisfaction
Working with Malvern Primary School has been an enriching experience. The school representative expressed their satisfaction, stating: "The new cabin has exceeded our expectations, providing a beautiful and functional space for our students. The attention to detail and quality of work from Timber Building Specialists is truly commendable."
This positive feedback underscores our commitment to delivering projects that meet the unique needs of our clients while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
