The new Marpole Community Centre in South Vancouver ⁠is well underway, with the installation of the long-span steel beams for the doubly curved cantilever roof currently ongoing. ⁠ ⁠ This facility is set to replace an outdated structure with a new two-story building that is almost double the size. Throughout the design phase, close collaboration between the design team and contractors was essential to confirm that the intended curvature was achievable within the structural elements.⁠ ⁠ The gravity system - which largely utilizes timber as the key structural component - incorporates cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels supported by glulam beams and columns to create the floors and terraces, while the curved roof combines steel beams with CLT panels. ⁠To provide lateral stability, light-wood shear walls have been placed within the architectural partitions to minimally disrupt the interior space whilst upholding structural strength.⁠ ⁠ To learn more about this project, visit https://lnkd.in/g7NNuFXP ⁠ City of Vancouver | Diamond Schmitt | Heatherbrae Builders⁠ | Kalesnikoff | RDH Building Science | Seagate Mass Timber Inc. | MTC Solutions Rendering courtesy of Diamond Schmitt ⁠ #MassTimber #StructuralEngineers #StructuralDesign #CLT #TimberDesign #MassTimberEngineers

Vienna House is paving the way for resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective housing in our communities! Built to Passive House standards, this seven-storey multi-family building combines mass timber and light-frame wood components to create an innovative hybrid structure. One standout feature of Vienna House is its use of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) for floors and roofs, along with prefabricated, light-frame wood, closed envelope panels. By utilizing CLT, Vienna House not only reduces its environmental footprint but also speeds up construction, helping to address the urgent need for increasing housing supply. With 123 units designed for low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities, this project is an adaptable and replicable model for sustainable, diverse housing. Vienna House showcases how mass timber can help meet growing housing demands—efficiently and sustainably!

What a great week! Our technical team toured Kalesnikoff’s new 100,000 SF modular facility following the successful installation of the roof on our third manufacturing facility. This achievement marks a critical milestone in the expansion of KMT’s operations, further demonstrating our team’s unmatched expertise in delivering complex projects efficiently. The project underscores our commitment to the local economy while enhancing the capabilities of our highly skilled, dedicated team, who remain at the core of our success. . . . #ModularMassTimber #CrossLamimatedTimber #Glulam #GreenBuildings #GreenArchitecture #TimberIndustry #Castlegar

A Blueprint for Design: Mass timber in affordable multi-family housing For mass timber to be cost competitive in the affordable multi-family sub-segment, design efficiency, material optimization, and a wholistic understanding of where savings may lie are especially important. Our latest paper delves into design steps, code-compliance options, and material optimization strategies across low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings to provide a comprehensive framework for designing with cross-laminated timber (CLT), glue-laminated timber (glulam), and other systems.

New Westminster’s new aquatics and community centre is named təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre, a hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ word for ‘sea otter house’, after the playful animal. This facility, designed by HCMA Architecture + Design, is one of Canada's pioneering zero-carbon aquatic centres. The new centre creates a combined 10,684 sq. m. state-of-the-art recreational facility. KMT provided the exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) roof and wall panels with exposed Glulam beams. The need for a clear span across the 50 m lap pool dictated a long span steel truss solution. The north facing sawtooth roof allows for natural daylight and passive ventilation into the pool. The seamless CLT soffit was realized by hanging the CLT panels from the truss bottom chord, resulting in design that integrated structure, architecture, and sustainability. This vibrant facility will serve as the heart of the community for years to come.

We’re excited to see the installation of our volumetric mass timber modules. We have a number of options from classroom/child care facilities to multifamily residential units. Each module is fully pre-fabricated off-site, resulting in rapid assembly on-site, empowering builders to streamline construction, resulting in faster project timelines and enhanced efficiency. #ModularConstruction #ModularMassTimber #CrossLaminatedTimber #CLT #Glulam #CLT #GreenBuildings #TimberIndustry

There was a lot to be learned touring our new #masstimbermodules with Danny Greenberg and Peter Boeckeler. This is a different style of #modularconstruction than I am used to and I was blown away by the shorter build cycles and smaller crew sizes. There were some incredible details that lead to very precise layouts and incredible quality. From laying out wall framing with CNC notches to prefabricated sub assemblies my mind was a buzz on how this approach can help propel the modular industry forward.
