The judges said that this entry was certainly different!  Much use of stone, timber and steel windows all combined to make a most excellent winner.  The most outstanding feature however was the extensive use of zinc roofing and the large entry awning to great effect. The zinc, supplied by Craft Metals, is Rheinzink pre-weathered blue grey, a natural weathering metal that will patinate as nature intended over time and contrasts perfectly with the other natural building materials that were chosen.  The use of zinc is versatile, allowing cost-effectiveness, durability, ease of a maintenance and sustainability. The structural complexity of the project, curved and low pitched roof areas and joining details demanded the use of soft and non-ferrour material to guarantee a water tight corrosion resistant and installation. An excellent winner.
