Timber House is a 77-unit mid-rise multi-family housing development that is located along the Fraser River. Cross-laminated timber panels are used as floors, bearing walls, and shearwalls on this project. In addition to being the primary structure, CLT is being used as an integral design feature with each unit having one exposed ceiling and one exposed wall showcasing the natural and attractive aesthetic of the wood. As a true kit-of-parts solution, Timber House optimizes mass timber’s structural and aesthetic design qualities with constructability and cost efficiency.
