MAKING AT BENCHMARK

When making The Nest together with the craftsmen at Benchmark, Juliet used planks of red oak which have been thermally modified to make it more durable for outdoor use. Every layer of the piece uses the same width of timber with some pieces notched to allow more light to pass through.

“We were very keen to get a sense of richness and texture in the walls so that it wasn’t a blank façade but something that would almost disintegrate into the view as you look towards it.” – Juliet Quintero, Dallas-Pierce-Quintero
