MDF Plant

Client: Nelson Pine Industries Limited

Contract period: 2003

Consultants: West & Tritt Architects, Richmond Design Consulting Engineers

This already huge MDF and LVL manufacturing plan on the outskirts of Richmond, was extended in 2003.

Creating such large open spaces out of manufactured timber products took some getting used to but the end result is a thing of beauty. From the outside it looks much like any other industrial building, but inside the warmth and natural feel of the timber stands out.

A precision product was teamed up with a precision install to create an exceptional finished product.
