Micron Technology Building - Manassas,VA A unique building design that resulted in a breathtaking building inside and out. We were able to provide Western Wood Structures Inc. the Glulam fabrication for the entire structure. This included CNC fabrication of roof support beams that were angled in two directions. We hand fabricated the curved end columns and arched roof beam that create the iconic curved roof end. With the help of Carpentry Plus, Inc., both parties hand fabricated the 70' long main roof support beams that were designed to have a camber across the main span and a cantilever for the exterior overhang.

Hos Lilleheden har vi oprustet vores tegnestue med nye og kompetente kræfter ✍🏻 Vi står midt i en spændende udvikling med investeringen i et nyt automatiseringsanlæg, som har flerdoblet vores kapacitet og gjort det muligt at imødekommende den stigende efterspørgsel på konstruktionslimtræ. Med flere og større projekter i ordrebogen er der behov for ekstra tegneressourcer. Derfor er vi glade for at byde velkommen til nye og dygtige kræfter i form af David Habib som ny tegnestueleder samt Maria Mariendahl og Merle Korp som tegnere. Sammen med vores eksisterende tegner Brian Eggers Larsen står vores tegnestue nu endnu stærkere og klar til at kaste sig over de mange spændende projekter med limtræ, der venter forude! 👏🏻 På billedet ses fra venstre: David Habib, Brian Eggers Larsen, Maria Mariendahl og Merle Korp. #tegnestue #kapacitetsudvidelse #limtræ #lilleheden #nordicwoodindustries

Vienna House is paving the way for resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective housing in our communities! Built to Passive House standards, this seven-storey multi-family building combines mass timber and light-frame wood components to create an innovative hybrid structure. One standout feature of Vienna House is its use of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) for floors and roofs, along with prefabricated, light-frame wood, closed envelope panels. By utilizing CLT, Vienna House not only reduces its environmental footprint but also speeds up construction, helping to address the urgent need for increasing housing supply. With 123 units designed for low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities, this project is an adaptable and replicable model for sustainable, diverse housing. Vienna House showcases how mass timber can help meet growing housing demands—efficiently and sustainably!

We are excited to share the stunning video of our #ITECH Research Pavilion 2024! The project presents an innovative approach to bio-based hybrid architecture, featuring a first-of-its-kind system that combines timber and natural fibres and explores the architectural possibilities that arise from the complementary characteristics of both materials. The research builds upon a series of pavilions developed at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart. It was designed and fabricated by students and researchers from the #ITECH Class 2024 at the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC | University of Stuttgart.

The Ohana Montage Health Facility located in Monterey, California, has recently earned a spot on TIME's list of Best Inventions of 2024 in the design category!⁠ ⁠ This project changes the narrative on the traditionally cold and institutional feel often associated with behavioral and mental healthcare facilities. Emphasizing a connection to nature, the interior features timber finishes that reflect the surrounding oak trees, while ample natural light pours in through large floor-to-ceiling windows, offering connection to the outside world. The building's form is characterized by gentle, flowing curves that encircle a central courtyard.⁠ ⁠ This mass timber and steel hybrid facility is one of largest healthcare buildings to use cross-laminated timber. It's unique curvature design used timber joists as a ruled surface, with the two-way spanning nature of CLT allowing further articulation in the undulating shape.⁠ ⁠ Congratulations to NBBJ Design, the comprehensive project team, and to the client, Montage Health on this well-deserved recognition. The design of this facility exemplifies a commitment to fostering a nurturing, inviting, and secure environment for the children and adolescents it serves!⁠ To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/gPgZ-eRT Photos by Ty Cole ⁠ NBBJ Design I South Bay Construction I BFS Landscape Architects I Whitson Engineers I Introba ⁠ #StructuralEngineers #MassTimber #HealthcareFacility #StructuralDesign #CLT
