Bullingdon Community centre
Bullingdon Community Centre is an innovative new public building in Oxford’s Lye Valley Ward; using Modern Methods of Construction to provide an air-tight, well-insulated shell to house vaulted open spaces.
In response to the brief about ‘bridging the gaps in increasingly varied social communities,’ and consultation with end-user and trustees, the connectivity between people, space and surroundings became the conceptual driver behind the design process. Both Jessop and Cook and the Council client were also keen to push for a low-carbon, energy-efficient design. To achieve this, our Passivhaus Designer utilised a fabric-first approach, working with off-site fabricator Timber Innovations to design a carefully-detailed, pre-fabricated timber frame.
The project was finished in 2022 and has been greatly contributing to the local community.
