Kidderminster Crematorium
| Kidderminster Crematorium has been built in partnership between Dignity and Wyre Forest District Council to provide a multi-use funeral facility for Kidderminster and the surrounding areas. The project involves tiers of sweeping radial timber ceilings and soffits in Western Red Cedar, in and around the building, creating a tranquil and unique aesthetic. The concept driven design by Howl Associates was "..based on a water droplet falling into a pool creating ripples being analogous to how one person’s life affects those around them during their lifetime." The scheme, built by Herbert Baggaley Construction has also been designed to a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating. | Client: Dignity/Wyre Forest District Council Architect: Howl Associates Contractor: Herbert Baggaley Construction Size: 1000m2 Location: Kidderminster Duration: 15 Weeks Completion: April 2011 Features  Western Red CedarPEFC CertifiedClass 1 Fire ProtectionClass D AcousticsSecret Fixings |
Quote
“Selecting a specialist timber ceiling company was quite challenging given the conical form of the ceilings at the new crematorium. BCL’s experience and their willingness to engage in an early design dialogue was extremely helpful. The installation on site was carried out with precision and the ceilings and soffits are a key feature of the building…” Phil Howl RIBA, Director - HOWL ASSOCIATES LTD |
