A Balanced Design

Our Challenge
To help create an inviting, comfortable and familliar community hub, Techlam was tasked with supplying glulam for a lightweight and open extension to the existing structure.

The Techlam Solution
Using economic kitset glulam roof members and complementary steel componentry, Martinborough’s Community Centre now feels well connected and welcoming - inspiring an already tight-knit community to work together.
