LEISURE & COMMUNITY:
The Leaf Room, Ninewells Community Garden, Dundee
The project was won following a national 2-Stage Architecture Competition to design a garden room at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
The leaf room is inspired from a natural form of a folded leaf – using a green roof overhanging a rectangular shaped timber box underneath functioning as: living room, garden retreat, community room, and educational training facility.
The building is extremely environmentally conscious being constructed primarily in Natural Scottish Timber, and will be uniquely 100% off grid: with no mains service connections, no electricity requirements, a wood burning stove and rainwater harvesting from the roof to help water the garden. The building sits comfortably in the garden space it occupies, creating a strong link between building and the excellent community garden.
