RDLAC Garden Room – @Studio_Bark The Garden Room is community project for Royal Docks Learning & Activity Centre in Newham, East London. This project is a charitable evolution of Studio Bark’s hugely successful Bark Live-Build 2015 project @ Warren Lodge, Norfolk. Studio Bark worked on this project because the whole team believes in the importance of community, diversity and education. Studio Bark have delivered a community garden space in RDLAC’s courtyard following a snappy two week live-build, in association with The University of East London. The structure itself is very simple, but incorporates a long pop-up hatch window (powered by reclaimed car-boot pistons), a modular (locally sourced) Douglas Fir skin and a modular green roof.

Please Click Here to see a little bit more about Bark Live-Build 2016. This year Studio Bark are working on a very special community project for Royal Docks Learning & Activity Centre (RDLAC) in Newham, East London. Over a snappy two week live-build, Studio Bark in association with The University of East London, will be getting their hands dirty to deliver RDLAC a Garden Room which will enhance their courtyard with a flexible space to be used for activities and events. Once built, RDLAC Garden Room will become a test-centre for UEL’s Architectural Technology course, who will be monitoring it over a full heating and cooling season to test the internal environment and ongoing energy usage. The building will be the first full-scale prototype of the U-Build self-build fabrication system. Studio Bark U-Build U-Build site Read More
