Woods Bagot’s project for the St. Mary’s Calne School library, finished in 2020, transforms the space into both an academic and social hub. The angular soffit, designed to resemble tree branches, is constructed using custom Parklex Prodema panels made from Okume wood. This design feature fosters a warm and inviting atmosphere, elevating the library’s significance as a central meeting place for the school community.
Aldapeta María Ikastetxea School utilizes geothermal energy and natural light to create efficient environments. The Parklex Prodema wood panels, installed vertically with concealed fixings, provide a contrast to the concrete, enhancing the warmth and natural beauty of the wood.
The Martino Lake House, created by David E. Surface along the shores of Lake Burton, combines rustic charm with modern technology. Wrapped in natural wood slats from Parklex Prodema, this home needs no ongoing maintenance for its façade, as the panels are highly resistant to severe weather conditions.
The Landaburu Borda rural house features natural oak wood panels that blend with the concrete structure. The use of Parklex Prodema paneling and flooring offers both durability and a cohesive aesthetic. Thoughtful design elements, such as mitered edges and battens for hidden fixings, contribute to a refined look while allowing the wood to expand and contract without compromising the integrity of the design.
