This is my construction assignment to date. I have chosen Charles Rennie Mackintosh as my architect, so I am going to make my warehouse form timber. I've decided to use a laminated box beam portal frame with brick cladding. Below are my floor plans and elevations.



Charles Rennie Mackintosh believed 'construction should be decorated and not decoration constructed.' I have decided to use a lowered ceiling, and decorative balustrade to reflcect his style. The ceilings profile reflects alot of his work, as a long taut sweeping curve.

I have tried to proportion the features of the two buildings to hide their different sizes. The windows are therefor larger on the small building, as are the enterances. Mackintosh used this technique for the Glasgow School Of Art.
