The Biomass Boiler House is a project by Design and Make students to house the biomass boiler, wood chip store and buffer tank for the district heating system that now provides heat energy to the entire Hooke Park campus. Naturally curved Douglas fir tree trunks grown at Hooke Park were each 3D-scanned to form a database of geometries from which a smoothly flowing sinuous curved wall was composed from stacking timbers.
