Larch Shingles on David Douglas Pavilion

The David Douglas Pavilion, situated within the Scottish Plant Collectors Garden at Pitlochry was short-listed for the National Wood Awards 2003. It was designed by Robin Baker of Gaia Architects and built by Carpenter Oak and Woodland. The entire superstructure is constructed from Scottish timber. Cladding is from untreated Douglas fir, and the roof is covered in shingles of untreated selected heartwood of European larch. The shingles in measure 150 x 450mm and taper from 4 to 22mm thick. They are cut to a blunt point to form the diagonal fir cone effect when laid. They were cut by ASHS member, E.G. Johnstone. The building was opened to the public last year and has generated a great deal of interest.
