The so - called “ Roominaroom ” project by London - found architectsatmos studiowon a2013 UK Wood Awardyesterday for its extraordinary point of craftsmanship — from computer - mill , cut , and fitted ornamental oak beam to precision joinery — for a renovate flat in the urban center .
The project is more or less what its name makes it sounds like : an insanely elaborate wooden room has been inserted into another room on the topmost floor of the flat , spread out into the relaxation of the structure with intricate vine - same electron beam and a beautifully svelte , inlaid floor .
As the designer write , “ The clients for this small residential jewel have an expanding family but fixed walls . Since they could n’t expand upwards or outwards , they had to expand inwards . ”
Even the mental synthesis operation itself sound pretty awesome : “ The room make it in the back of a motortruck , straight - packed and rapidly extend into a hardening of submillimetre - perfect digitally - fabricated rib that were link up and erected within a mean solar day . ” It is “ a CNC - carved outfit of timberland parts . ” Over the holidays next calendar month , as you slow piece together that tabletop teaser with your sept , attempt to imagine what it ’d be like place this together .
It was all unpacked and snapped together again like a 3D puzzler build by a race of motorcar - enable octopi , all weird curves and unexpected inlays .
Handrails become the front strip for a paries of in - build up bookshelf and the floors themselves kink up , become walls and warehousing cupboards , and arch away again as spray of ribs across the ceiling .
Here are just a bunch of pictures from the task — the concluding image , below , uncover the wooden platform of a double bottom for the family ’s possessor — showing that computer - assisted woodworking is perhaps the surest sign that former arts & workmanship never really disappear altogether , they just number back thoroughly transformed by new engineering .
