Project: Cross Laminated Townhouse
Submission Extract: Our approach has been to design a high performing cross-laminated timber (CLT) modular system that could be transported to site on a single 14.5 x 5.4m flatbed truck as 6 individual modules. Because of the transient nature of the building, we have made the design as passive as possible to limit the reliance on hard wired services such as air conditioning and hot water systems. It is important that this solution can be moved and used on other sites, nationally or internationally. This project pushes the limits as to what can be done with CLT panels and works in a way that expresses its modularity.
