The brief
A winter-tight timber pavilion on granite, delivered inside a five-month build window between thaw and freeze.
Site area
4.1 ha
Built area
410 m²
Levels
1 + loft
Structure
Glulam frame on rock anchors
Envelope
Charred cedar rainscreen
Certification
Net Zero Ready
The constraint
Road access closes for five months a year. Every kilogram had to arrive before the first freeze.
What we did
Full off-site prefabrication in Barrie, barged in twelve modules, dry-assembled in nineteen days.
The result
Weathertight before the first snow. No winter storage costs, no seasonal remobilisation.
Programme
Road access closes for five months. That single fact set the entire procurement route: everything had to be built somewhere else and arrive complete.
Assembly
Twelve modules were fabricated in Barrie, barged across, and dry-assembled in nineteen days. Services were first-fixed in the factory and connected through a single spine, so the on-site trade sequence never exceeded four people.
Full off-site prefabrication, twelve modules
Nineteen days from first lift to weathertight
No winter storage, no seasonal remobilisation
