A key feature of the Bencairn Bungalow renovation is the use of bespoke spruce glulam feature trusses, supplied by Glenalmond Timber. Designed to sit prominently within the newly transformed interior, the exposed timber structure brings warmth and character to the space while creating a strong architectural focal point.
The glulam trusses combine the natural beauty of spruce with the strength and dimensional stability of engineered timber, allowing the substantial structural elements to remain exposed as part of the finished design. Their clean, carefully defined geometry provides a striking contrast to the surrounding finishes, while the natural timber tones help soften the contemporary feel of the renovation.
Rather than concealing the structural framework, the design celebrates it as an integral part of the interior architecture. The exposed trusses add scale and rhythm to the space, drawing the eye upwards and emphasising the openness of the renovated bungalow. Their substantial form also helps create a sense of permanence and craftsmanship, complementing the character of the original building while giving the interior a distinctly contemporary identity.
The use of spruce glulam demonstrates how engineered timber can combine structural performance with visual appeal, transforming what would traditionally be a purely functional element into a defining feature of the finished space.
