The latest Maggie's project in London, for which the renowned New York Studio Libeskind is responsible, is anything but ordinary. With its curved and sloping exterior façade and roof garden, this small but architecturally bold building presented a major challenge to our colleagues from ZÜBLIN Timber. We had to come up with a creative solution for the building's special wave-like free-form façade.
The free-form façade was created using individual curved elements. The biggest challenge was to translate the complex geometry of architectural design into reality. For the timber frame elements and the façade panels of the free-form façade, we used a total of around 620 m² of laminated veneer lumber.

This is the third time we have realised a building for the Cancer Support Foundation, in addition to the projects in Oldham (2016) and Oxford (2014). The current project in London is the foundation's 24th site.
