Norbord’s SterlingOSB has been given a starring role in an exciting community project. The Pop Brixton project is a pioneering space created by architect, Carl Turner, in partnership with developer, The Collective, on behalf of Lambeth Council.

Designed with the local community in mind, Pop Brixton showcases independent start-ups and businesses from Brixton and Lambeth. The development makes extensive use of former shipping containers and SterlingOSB is used in the majority of these containers to line the walls and floors.

Carl Turner Architects is an enthusiastic user of OSB. “The offi ce units are completely lined with OSB,” explains Carl. “We’ve used it a lot before because it has an excellent environmental profi le as well as being strong and durable. It’s easy to work with and I like its warmth and texture.”

Carl estimates that, when completed, the project will have consumed over 2,000 sheets of SterlingOSB.
