Lodgico, the official agents for Honka log homes from Finland, have
been approached by Landkey Primary School to design and build a
purpose built sustainable ICT suite.
The Lodgico team of experts carried out detailed surveys of the site
near Barnstaple in North Devon, enabling them to advise the school
on the positioning of the unit as well as the overall design. The
suite needs to hold facilities for up to 30 children, allowing whole
classes to be taught at the same time.
Landkey Primary currently has an ICT suite situated within the main
school building that accommodates a maximum of 6 children. Lodgico
have proposed a ‘log cabin’ effect building utilising their own
building system that will be highly insulated to keep running costs
as low as possible.
The log building will be designed to utilise timber in as much of
the build as possible to ensure that a sustainable solution can be
delivered as well as a light and airy atmosphere for the children to
work in.
Lodgico, who design their own range of bespoke timber buildings,
have designed a custom-built log structure which will be timber
framed and finished with horizontal timber cladding. A single storey
timber framed building, measuring 12m x 5.7m externally, with an
internal floor area of 58m2. A 1.8m wide non-slip timber access ramp
will run across the front of the building.
The building will contain a single room, with built in workstations.
Window and door frames will be woodgrain effect UPVC. The roof will
be finished with non-asbestos slate and it is proposed to include a
polycarbonate canopy over the access ramp.
Lodgico have designed log buildings for several schools throughout
the UK. Their 'one stop shop' service is unrivalled, from building
