IQ Glass - Specialist Glaziers
Architectural Glazing Specialists
Four timber and IQ Glass projects were shortlisted for 2023 Wood Awards spanning both residential and commercial projects celebrating outstanding use of wood in buildings.
Award-winning Made of Sand has already scooped several awards this year due to its sympathetic double storey extension to stone cottage. The timber and glass extension designed by Studio Weave is an artist’s retreat with strong connections to its rural setting, thanks to the structural glass window box with with exposed Douglas Fir timber cladding. Made of Sand was highly commended by the judges for its extensively timber clad façade. Materials and craft play a key role in anchoring the double-storey extensions in its setting. Red Western cedar cladding has silvered, assimilating the building with the surrounding woodland.
Designed by Robin Lee Architecture, Black House Farm was highly commended by the judges of Wood Awards for its restoration and reuse of the 17th Century Grade II listed farmhouse. Timber finishes, IQ Glazing and structural components have been oiled, creating rich, naturally toned interiors.
A new dining space with bar and café designed by MCW Architects was shortlisted for its use of timber in architecture . An impressive biophilic oak structure converging into an automated skylight at its apex forms the college's new dining and gathering space.
Another of Studio Weave’s timber in architecture projects was shortlisted for a Wood Award. Making use of a mass timber primary structure, this single-storey extension revives the Grade-II listed Lea Bridge Library into a new civic heart for the community. Timber with oversized curved sliding glass doors finished to the highest spec is now a hub for the community to enjoy for many years to come.
