This prestigious project was the largest freestanding structure that TMJ have manufactured, constructed from Glulam beams and clad with 5621 bespoke American Red ¼ cut Oak panels, with over half a million screws used and weighed in excess of 160 tonnes. This timber lobby ‘Vortex’ was designed as a literal and metaphorical “twist” on the classic timber-panelled lobbies that define many of London’s buildings. The project spanned over 1000 days, from concept through to installation.
