Ayous - Orsett Heath School

Educational environments often call for materials that are both practical and visually appealing, creating spaces that feel welcoming and modern.

For Orsett Heath School, the chosen material was Ayous, a lightweight hardwood known for its smooth texture and uniform appearance. Its pale, creamy tone brings a clean and contemporary aesthetic to the building, while its versatility makes it ideal for a range of architectural applications.

Ayous is naturally stable and easy to machine, allowing for precise detailing and consistent finishes. When used externally, it can be treated to enhance durability and maintain its appearance over time, ensuring the material performs well in demanding environments like schools.

All boards were machined to specification and prepared for installation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency on site. By selecting Ayous, the project team achieved a balance of elegance and practicality, delivering a high-quality finish that complements the school’s modern design.
