Savill Building, Modern visitor center in Windsor Great Park, England
The Savill Building features a triple-domed sinusoidal roof constructed with interlocking larch laths extending over 90 meters in length and 25 meters in width.
Following the destruction of a beech tree plantation during the 1987 hurricane, the Savill Building opened its doors on June 26, 2006, designed by architect Glenn Howells.
The structure integrates a timber gridshell system, incorporating materials from 400 larch trees sourced from local Crown Estate plantations in Windsor Forest.
The center contains a shop, seminar rooms, offices, garden center, and restaurant with a terrace offering views of the adjacent Savill Garden.
The building's exterior walls incorporate full-height glass panels that connect interior spaces with the surrounding gardens through natural light penetration.
