The Customer's Requirements
We were approached by Dragonfly Joinery to work on this project with Far Post Design. The brief was to complete a children's entertainment area for children to explore and learn while giving the parents somewhere to sit and relax.
There was no existing joinery in place as this was a new area being designed
The main design requirement was that's this was an area that needed to be easy to clean, as younger children spill drinks and make mess daily.
Our Bespoke Timber Window Solution
We chosse to work with 18mm birch plywood, due to its tight layer formation and the light colour. Birch ply is also excellent for taking fixings and stability.
