The team at Studio Hardie, based in Lewes,
East Sussex, has a wide range of specialist expertise from cutting-edge design
to age-old craft skills. In this post, Hamish Boden describes the challenges
they faced when creating the ultimate modern exhibition space using traditional
skills.

Spending time meticulously planning the
install is critical; the choreography of how everything comes together quickly,
accurately and beautifully. We couldn’t rely on ‘off the shelf’ being totally
straight so we designed a new system for making dead flat-straight walls out of
MDF torsion boxes. You often hear carpenters complaining about using MDF but for
us it was a rare treat. We are used to
using solid timber that shrinks cracks and moves. MDF in contrast is a very predictable and
versatile material.
It was a real challenge to create the curved
ceiling. We knew that constructing the
sections on the floor would mean we could make a much better quality finish
than working over-head.
This is where modern technology meets classic old-fashioned
carpentry knowledge. To get the perfect curve we had some roof fins cut with
CNC and covered them with a thin sheet of MDF.
Next we had the challenge of hoisting the entire
roof up in to the air. For this we
simply made some large roof trusses that we knew would take the weight and
bolted them to our structure. We used a
genie lift to hoist them in to the air and lowered it back down on to the walls. Job done!”
