As the series of lockdown continued throughout the nation, the reception block of Silinge Health and Birthing Centre was slowly but surely coming along. Soon after the completion of the roof ring beams, metal work commenced on site that support our elegant and characteristic butterfly roofs. As the name suggest, the two roof surfaces slope down from opposing sides to form a valley in the middle resembling the wings of a butterfly.
Eucalyptus timber planks sit on top of the metal frames with a layer of waterproof insulation before finishing off with slate tiles. This carefully designed light and well insulated roof structure caps off the Rat Trap Bond brick walls ensuring acoustic and thermal comfort for the users.
Now we aim to finish off the interior details of building before the center is up and running.
