SterlingOSB Zero lends urban
aesthetics to Blue House Yard
HexxHome at Graven Hill
Norbord’s SterlingOSB Zero was the ideal
panel for bringing the architects’ ideas to life.
The panels are light and manoeuverable, easy
to lift and fix into timber studs, and due to the
size chosen, they required minimal cutting;
resulting in a straightforward material to work
with which doesn’t require any fancy details. HexxHome was established to help serve the
needs of a generation of people who do not
want to purchase a home from a volume house
builder; people who believe in sustainable
construction and are prepared to devote the
time and resources to find the right partner
to help them design and build a better home.
HexxHome was selected to build an exemplar
new house on the Show Home complex at
Graven Hill Village. Our three bedroom home
has been designed by Charlie Luxton Design
using the patented HexxHome build system.
Our system comprises a range of standardised
precast concrete panel and slab shapes which
are innovatively joined together to form the
exo-skeleton of the building which also serves
as the finished façade. The flexibility inherent
in the HexxHome build system enables us to
design and build houses from 60sq metres to
in excess of 500sq metres to suit all socio-
economic profiles.

A temporary project in a disused car park in
North London has been developed to provide
a range of new accommodation for small
businesses which are facing rising rent costs
and lack of suitable workspace. The disused
car park is referred to locally as Blue House
Yard because of the renovated, blue painted
council office and a row of nine brightly
coloured two storey timber micro-sheds, all
of which are lined with SterlingOSB Zero. The
site also includes a café located in a double
decker bus and a minicab office.
20
Shapes, Murals Lines and
Kenzo. Ideal for designers,
specifiers and developers
looking to make a statement,
the new ranges combine
a multitude of structures,
patterns and finishes to
deliver surfaces that perform
both aesthetically and
practically.

Raising expectations: Ceiling
design in the experience economy
We live in the era of the experience economy:
a time when even the most commoditised
space is subject to shared experiences
and open feedback. A time where great
experiences become the expectation, not the
exception. And thanks to the democratisation
of the internet and social media, for whatever
space you find yourself in, you’ll find an online
mirror of it.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It fosters
competition and drives the creators and
facilitators of these spaces to try harder and
create positive experiences for the end-
user. In every space within this experience
economy, design and architecture must play
their part in improving the experience. And the
ceiling space is central to this ambition.
