Ashraya House is a paragraph 80 home positioned within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Winner of RIBA South East Award in 2023, Ashraya features an exposed precast concrete structure and CLT timber beams measuring eight metres wide.
ConstruktCLT were responsible for engineering and installing the striking timber arches and mass timber roof panels over a fifteen day period. These elements are left exposed internally to enhance the architectural integrity. Achieving this required extensive coordination with the design team prior to construction, as well as intricate negotiations with the precast concrete specialist.
