Mass Timber at the Forest Edge. Located in the ecotone between Redwood forest and meadow grasslands, UC Santa Cruz Heller Graduate Student Housing takes inspiration from its rich natural setting and the university’s ambitious environmental goals. The design incorporates mass timber structure, panelized and pre-fabrication systems, passive-first design strategies and biophilic elements to yield Triple Net Zero performance and enhance resident health. The building’s three residential wings are joined by an open-air connector that highlights the heart of the community while providing vertical circulation, outdoor social nodes and a grand overlook with vistas to Monterey Bay.

We’re working with @ForterraNW on a new attainable family housing and marketplace development for a growing community of Somali and East African immigrants, incorporating carbon-smart modular mass timber construction. Wadajir’s innovative approach incorporates CLT structural elements, utilizes sustainably harvested timber and helps generate jobs in rural Washington. The project was included in yesterday’s @NYTimes article about growing use of modular construction to achieve cost, schedule and sustainable performance efficiencies.
