Autobarn by Bindloss Dawes

The Autobarn is the realisation of our client's long-term dream to house his collection of classic German cars. The project is composed of two volumes: a clean, five-bay garage for everyday use and a taller workshop for repairs and future restoration projects.

Beyond satisfying this initial use, the project ambition was to create a flexible, 'long-life, loose-fit' building that could be used for a range of different uses. Currently it doubles up as event space, however the ambition is that the Autobarn could one day become a low-energy house.

Located on the outskirts of a small Somerset village, the project is set within the grounds of an eighteenth-century Grade 2 listed house. It replaces several haphazard outbuildings and consolidates their amenity into an elegant architectural proposal, nestled within a glade of mature trees.

The project's design references the language of neighbouring agricultural barns. As a practice we are interested in reassessing the rural vernacular, both for its contextual appropriateness and its lessons in low-cost, pragmatic design. As such, the Autobarn re-interprets simple forms and methods of construction, adapting more temporary, rudimentary methods into a robust and elegant paradigm for low-cost, rural architecture. Composed of a concrete base and steel framed structure, intermittent timber cladding and zinc metal roof, the Autobarn adapts barn typologies with varying levels of refinement. Consideration was also given to its weathering, with the natural zinc roof dulling to complement the silver patination of the sweet chestnut cladding.

Like many barns, permeability to light and air is controlled through a series of movable layers. First experienced as a closed solid mass, the barn walls open up via a number of doors, including an heroic 7m sliding timber screen. The intermittent timber slats of the screens create internal dappled light during the day, which is reversed at night as interior lighting illuminates the surrounding landscape. Internally the steel structure is expressed in an array of simple portal frames, with sustainably-sourced wood-fibre acoustic board forming internal wall and ceiling. The garage space is calm and gallery-like, while the workshop space presents a tougher, taller workshop, surrounded with concrete wainscotting and designed to accommodate a car lift.

The building's 'long-life/loose-fit' ambitions have meant that the insulation and energy performance exceed residential standards. Although thermostats are currently turned down for its current use, the building includes underfloor heating powered by an Air Source Heat Pump, as well as additional first fix services hidden behind the internal wall paneling for future conversion.

Construction started in November 2020 and was completed at the end of 2021, with the project effected by the global pandemic and building material inflation. Despite these challenges, and the inclusion of some one-off expensive items (such as the electric garage doors), the Autobarn was built for under £2,300 / m2. In tandem with high energy performance and the use of natural materials, it combines our studio's goal to combine beauty, affordability, and sustainability.

DP2 - Wandering Earth

Week 17:

This week, I developed a facade system that can be adapted to different spaces. The different degrees of curling of the panels respond to different directions of wind, rain and sun, resulting in the change in the interior ventilation, moisture content and light levels. I started working on the interior details of the laboratory including computer and seating units, structures supporting the existing facade that gets studies on, sprinkler and hail machine systems; and considered the primary and secondary structures supporting various components.

I need to keep working on the integrated design modules for the testing chamber, workshop space and garden for next week, and below are the details for different systems:

Roof: shape of the roof (e.g. jagged) and direction of its openings to allow light coming into the space. Rain water collecting systems with piping for flushing toilets

Floor: voids in the tiles for growing different species of plants; and delivering water collected by the facade system to the floor to nurture them. Angles of the the flooring systems and the different tiles on top to have different textures, and also how water is drained in the lab.

Facade: different scales, density and curvature of the panels adapted to different spaces considering different window openings. How it can affect the moisture content, heating and lighting levels inside. Double layered facade to have a void space for people to walk in, such as mediation room.

Lighting: having a combination of Industrial lights and spot lights in the lab, and task lights in the control room to make sure the latter space is darker for visibility

Heating and ventilation active systems: comparison of direct expansion system vs chiller, MVHR system vs air handling unit, considering air source heat pump and underfloor air con. Considering the position of the plant room.

I also need to simplify the plan by: having less stairs and more ramps, terraforming, organisation and shape of spaces to be clearer and more functionally efficient, using height labels for clearer communication.

Performative model: one 1:1 facade panel with functional solar and rain fuel technology. Considering bimetallic technology to make its curvature controllable by computer?

Can You Use Underfloor Heating with Wood Flooring?

There are a lot of factors to consider before deciding whether or not a wooden floor is right for your home or business. If you have, or you are thinking of having, an underfloor heating system installed, it is crucial to check the floor you will be fitting can be used alongside underfloor heating.

Wooden floors are notorious for their tendency to warp when exposed to changing temperatures. So, with that in mind, is it even possible to use underfloor heating with wood flooring? Below, you will discover everything you need to know.

Is Underfloor Heating Safe To Use With Wooden Flooring?

Thanks to advancements in wooden flooring, it is possible to use underfloor heating alongside it. However, this will depend upon the type of wood being installed.

Generally speaking, underfloor heating can be safely used with laminate and engineered wooden floors. The only type of wood flooring that it should never be used with is solid wood. This is because solid wood flooring isn’t stable enough to be used with underfloor heating. They therefore won’t be able to cope with the change in temperature and will become severely damaged. This isn’t what you want when you’ve spent a small fortune installing it!

Engineered wooden floors on the other hand, have been manufactured to give the planks exemplary dimensional stability. This means they won’t warp or become easily damaged when exposed to underfloor heating. The same applies to laminate flooring too. It is worth remembering that laminate flooring isn’t actually made from real wood, it just benefits from a real wooden effect. So, out of the three different types of wooden flooring, laminate is generally considered the safest to be installed with underfloor heating.

While the majority of engineered wood and laminate floors are compatible with underfloor heating, there are exceptions. Therefore, it is recommended you double check the floor you are considering buying states that it is suitable to be installed with a heating system.

What Type Of Heating System Are You Using?

Another thing you need to take into account when buying a floor to install with underfloor heating, is the type of system you have. There are two types of underfloor heating systems, including water-based and electric systems.

The electric underfloor heating systems tend to be the most commonly used. They typically contain a foil heater, which is basically a heating mat that is really quick and easy to install. The foil wrapped feature means the floor will heat up very quickly, and it also guarantees more even heat distribution.

The water-based systems are less common, and they come in numerous options. These include rail and panel varieties. You will find that they differ depending upon the manufacturer.

When choosing a wooden floor to install over your underfloor heating system, you will need to make sure it is compatible with your system type. For example, some wooden floors are only suitable to be used with electric underfloor heating systems, rather than water-based ones.

Understanding Temperature Guidelines

Regardless of what type of underfloor heating system you have, you will need to know what temperature it reaches. All wooden floors which are suitable for use with underfloor heating, have a maximum temperature they can withstand.

Top manufacturer’s such as Kahrs, recommend never exposing your wooden floor to temperatures over 27 Degrees Celsius. You need to be aware of this, particularly when you are installing the floor around radiators, where the temperature will be a little higher than the rest of the room.

Always check the maximum temperature guidelines of each floor before going ahead and installing them. A good temperature to aim for is 23 Degrees Celsius.

Other Important Factors To Consider

Temperature and the type of heating system you have are not the only factors you will need to consider. You will also want to ensure that if you are using an underlay, it is constructed to a high quality. Using incorrect underlay could lead to numerous problems, including the risk of a fire. So, always follow manufacturer’s underlay guidelines when installing it with underfloor heating.

If you are installing a new underfloor heating system at the same time as a new floor, you will want to run the system before installing the floor over it. That way, if there’s a problem, you won’t need to take up your brand-new floor to get to it. You will also want to make sure that the screed is dry before turning the heating system on. Underfloor heating systems should always be installed by a professional too. This will ensure it is fitted safely and there is less of a chance that there will be any problems once you turn it on.

It is also important to avoid installing the wooden floor with nails or screws. Doing so could mean you will end up puncturing or damaging the underfloor heating system. You shouldn’t need to use nails or screws anyway as the majority of wooden floors today come with patented click systems which make them really easy to fit.

It is important to leave an expansion gap around the room when you are installing wooden flooring. This becomes even more important when you are installing it over an underfloor heating system. Make sure you leave an expansion gap of around 10mm around the room. If you do not, there could be problems with overheating, and if the wood does warp slightly, it could become damaged if it doesn’t have enough space to expand into.

Finally, if you are using underfloor heating alongside wooden flooring, you will need to make sure it covers the entire floor. If the underfloor heating is limited to a particular area, it could end up damaging the wood due to the fluctuating temperatures.

So, the good news is, most wooden floors are compatible for use with underfloor heating. However, you should never install real solid wood flooring with underfloor heating, and you will need to double check manufacturer guidelines before installing any type of wooden floor. If you do not follow the manufacturer guidelines and the floor becomes damaged because of the underfloor heating system, its warranty won’t be valid.

Are You Ready to Make the Switch to Hydronic Heating?

Hydronic heating systems are becoming increasingly popular among Australian households as they offer an alternative to traditional gas and electric heating options. They allow you to heat multiple rooms from a single location with thermostat control and adjustable temperature range, making it an ideal choice for many homeowners in Bowral. However, weighing its pros and cons is essential before investing in this heating system. In this article, we'll explore the benefits and downsides of Hydronic Heating in Bowral to help you decide if it's the right choice for your home. 

What is hydronic heating? 

Before discussing its advantages and disadvantages, let's start by understanding hydronic heating. Hydronic heating involves a boiler that heats water in pipes, then circulates into radiators or underfloor panels to warm up a room or an entire house. This system can be powered by various sources such as gas, oil, electricity, or renewable energy sources like solar power. Although it may be costlier than other heating systems during installation, hydronic heating has lower running costs since it is highly energy-efficient, making it a more affordable option over the long run.  

Pros of Hydronic Heating   

Effective heat distribution   Hydronic heating systems have the advantage of efficiently distributing heat throughout your house. The system operates by heating a liquid circulated through your home's pipes. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed across all rooms, enabling you to maintain comfortable temperatures throughout your house. You may only realize the importance of hydronic heating once you experience the warmth on a cold winter night. The little things in life matter, and hydronic heating is one of them.  

Lower energy bills   Hydronic heating is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas and electric systems. Only using the necessary energy to keep your home warm and cozy helps reduce your overall energy bills. This makes it an excellent option for households looking to save money on their energy bills.  

Consistent performance   Hydronic heating systems are well known for their reliability, as they usually require very little maintenance or repairs. Once you have installed the system, you can count on it to provide consistent heat throughout your home without worrying about regular maintenance or expensive repairs. This helps reduce long-term heating costs, a benefit not many other heating solutions can offer. Therefore, when considering the pros and cons of different heating options, it's worth evaluating the initial cost versus the long-term savings to make an informed decision.  

The Drawbacks of Hydronic Heating   

High installation costs   Installing a hydronic heating system can be expensive initially due to the requirement of specialized equipment and skilled technicians for proper installation. While the system can provide long-term savings, it's essential to consider all the associated costs before investing in this type of heating system.  

Minimal temperature range   If you reside in a location with high temperatures, you might discover that the system cannot provide appropriate warmth in the winter or cooling in the summer.  

The possibility of leaks   Hydronic heating systems are known for their efficiency and reliability, but they are susceptible to leaks due to their complex network of pipes and connections. In the event of a leak, it can cause expensive damage to your home, and you may be faced with a hefty repair bill.   

Conclusion  

Hydronic heating systems are an excellent choice for households seeking an efficient way to heat their homes without relying on traditional gas or electric options.

How environmentally friendly is underfloor heating?

This type of heating has been commonly used for the comfort it provides and the efficiency of heating as well as its conservation of the environment. Here’s a closer look at how environmentally friendly underfloor heating can be: Here’s a closer look at how environmentally friendly underfloor heating can be:

Energy Efficiency

This causes underfloor heating to possess one of the greatest environmental benefits of being energy efficient. Underfloor heating is therefore different from other heating systems that use radiators, or forced air to warm up large rooms. This efficiency can help cut energy use since the system uses lower temperatures but manages to warm the room efficiently. Underfloor heating results in lesser energy consumption and utilization thus assisting in conserving the environment through less carbon emissions.

Reduced Heat Loss

Conventional forms of heating cause reinstitution losses by way of ducting or are not very efficient in their distribution. Other heating methods, such as the underfloor heating systems, also do not lose heat since they spread the heat up on the floor. This method ensures warmer surfaces are closer to the occupants and lower temperatures are not used for comfort, this cuts the use of energy hence minimizing greenhouse gases emitted by heating.

Compatibility with Renewable Energy Sources

Thus, underfloor heating systems can be in operation with renewable sources of energy like solar panels or ground source heat pumps. With available renewable energy resources, homeowners can cut down more on the energy they use from fossils and hence reduce their impacts on the environment. Thus, interacting with renewables makes underfloor heating a flexible solution for new homeowners interested in living an eco-friendly life.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Unlike forced-air systems that circulate dust and allergens underfloor heating functions in silence, and does not circulate air. This is beneficial to control an improved standard of indoor air quality, due to the decrease of airborne dirt and allergens improving the living circumstances of occupants. This means that smog reduction promotes environmental health and cleanness since it is one of the facets of environmental health and sustainability objectives.

Longevity and Durability

Underfloor heating systems have a very good life expectancy and are very reliable. Compared to traditional heating systems, properly installed systems demand little if any maintenance at all implying that the environment is not harmed by frequent repairs or even replacement.

Conclusion

Therefore, underfloor heating systems have numerous advantages for the environment due to their better energy efficiency, less heat loss, integration with renewable energy, and better IAQ. With the trends of green building getting more significant then people who want to be environment friendly opting for underfloor heating becomes a perfect option.
