Knoll Ridge Cafe, Ruapehu

Knoll Ridge Cafe (RAL), Mt Ruapehu
Architect: H B ARCHITECTURE
Engineers: Dunning Thornton
Builders: Stanley Construction
untitleda_1.jpg		 1.After disastrous fire destroyed the Knoll Ridge Cafe on Mt Ruapehu, consultants Dunning Thornton were faced with the challenge of designing a new facility. This had to be a fast-track project to make use of the weather conditions available and to close in the structure before the winter snows arrived.

2.Materials needed to be strong and durable to withstand the harsh and extreme conditions – but also easily transported and prefinished as much as possible.  Consideration also needed to be given to environmental impact and the choice of a sustainable construction material. 3.This is where the benefits of McIntosh Glulam construction came to the fore. Manufactured from sustainable NZ radiata pine these lightweight members are stronger weight-for-weight than other building materials such as steel or concrete with minimal response to temperature change. 4.Deadlines were achieved and skiers are enjoying their cafe in the snowy mountain top.
