The architects specified Younique® by Formica Group for the washrooms at this ground breaking NHS experience centre at Chorley & South Ribble Hospital. When the founder of the Complete Energy Consultancy set about designing a brand new home for himself and his family, he identified Marmox Thermoblock as the ideal means of tackling thermal bridging around the floor/wall junction of the near-to-zero carbon construction solution. The new LIFE (Learning Inspiration Future Employment) centre offers the people of Lancashire from the age of 5 upwards the unique opportunity to learn about various hospital operations while gaining a greater understanding of the NHS and its functionality. www.formica.com The location of Richard Britten’s super- insulated four-bedroom property is only a few miles from the family’s current Gloucestershire property, but centuries away in age and technology. Not only will the Cotswold Stone clad walls offer a U-value of 0.1 W/m2K, but the dwelling’s hot water and negligible space heating needs will be met using a ground source heat pump. for further information please contact: tel: 01634 835290 email: [email protected] web: www.marmox.co.uk 11 MMCITÉ’S VISION FOR THE PUBLIC SPACE DEFINES THE CURVED LANDSCAPE COMPACT BENCH Design studio mmcité1 have another unique new product. Landscape Compact is more than just a regular bench — it is a modular system which makes use of straight and curved sections to enable you to create varied, long seating arrangements, both with or without backrests. You could even make circles, diverse islands, or relaxing bays of seating. It is a piece of street furniture the market has been missing for a long time. Its variability and unconventionally large dimensions give architects an interesting means of breaking up a large outdoor area. In addition, Landscape Compact scores highly for its elegant style and the array of artisanal details incorporated in its design. The bench was first revealed to the public at the ASLA 2018 expo in the USA, and it was also in the US that it won an A|N Best of Products Award in the Outdoor category. www.mmcite.com 12 ISOPRO ® AND ISOMAXX ® J & P Building Systems Ltd is pleased to offer ISOPRO ® and ISOMAXX ® thermally insulated concrete balcony connection systems.
