McConnel Wood Products

Description

This unique office was one of the winners of the Times/Gestchner Digital Office 2000 Competition. It is constructed on a bent elm frame with feathered oak shingles on the exterior, and looks not unlike a small owl. Inside you will find wood cladding, sections of which are patchworked in wood samples. These include cherry, elm, oak and chestnut, showing bark, heartwood and sapwood, and reflecting the different products of the sawmill. The sawmill specialises in both native softwood and homegrown and European hardwoods
