Timber Church: A Harmony of Tradition and Innovation
This timber church, blending architectural beauty with structural ingenuity, is entirely crafted from wood, showcasing the versatility and elegance of modern timber engineering. The structure features GLT portals, providing the primary framework, while CLT panels serve as the lateral system, ensuring stability and resilience against lateral forces such as wind and seismic loads.
- A highlight of the design is the innovative roof, constructed using a platform frame system. This approach not only enhances the structural performance but also allows for precise detailing and efficient assembly. The result is a warm, inviting space that reflects the spiritual purpose of the building while embracing sustainability and modern engineering techniques.
This project demonstrates how Mass Timber can create functional, durable, and aesthetically pleasing structures, setting a benchmark for the use of timber in sacred spaces.
