Chandlery

Frongoch Boatyard | 2007

Commissioned by Walk The Plank and Roustabout in close communication with the planners, Craftedspace was set the brief of designing a landmark building for this mixed used site in one of Wales’ most beautiful national parks.

Our resulting design was a hybrid of traditionally built post and beam and modern timber framing techniques, to create a cost effective build with an attractive exposed Douglas fir frame to the interior.

The unstable ground necessitated an upside down reinforced concrete slab foundation, functioning much like a boat. The wedge shaped site dictated the form which benefits from simpifying the roof into a true curve but defining the timber wall into facets.
