Private Locomotive Museum - Internal views

The shell of the building has been devised to prevent light spillage out into the protected landscape, and its mill finish copper cladding is intended to weather to subtle brown and green colours over time, in order to remain as unobtrusive as possible from views in the wider landscape. The servicing of the building is intended to deliver low humidity, reasonably comfortable space with minimum energy input. Excess solar energy is to be stored in boreholes below the building to enable intra-seasonal heat storage, to ensure the building doesn't become too cold or damp.
