Light Timber Frame House
Project Overview

This timber-framed hillside residence reflects our commitment to sustainable construction, technical precision, and architectural quality. With its staggered gable roofs, generous glazing, and open spatial concept, the building creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere while maintaining a strong connection to its natural surroundings. We were responsible for the complete structural design of the project. The load-bearing system consists of a carefully engineered timber frame, optimized to accommodate large window openings and cantilevered roof sections. We worked closely with the architectural team to ensure that the visible timber elements support both the structural integrity and the architectural expression of the house. The roof structure features two offset gables and is designed to safely withstand regional snow and wind loads. We placed special emphasis on stability and long-term performance by integrating strategic bracing and reinforcement, all while maintaining a lightweight and material-efficient design. Our structural model was fully developed in 3D, ensuring seamless coordination across disciplines and a smooth construction process. This project stands as a testament to our integrated approach and passion for high-quality timber engineering.
