THE CLT HOUSE

A Cross Laminated Timber housing unit prototype
The housing unit prototype constructed by CLT seeks to minimize adverse environmental impacts and create comfortable living places for sustainable development. Inspired by the shape of vases and tents, we capture the beautiful curves from those items. Bending the CLT panels allows us to recreate those curves. It is possible to assemble a structure unit with curved panels to serve many uses, such as a house.
A three-layer CLT panel showing force (N) and moment (M) resultants for laminated plate theory and showing the 1–2–3 laminate axis system – Brandner, R., Flatscher, G., Ringhofer, A., Schickhofer, G., & Thiel, A. (2017). Cross laminated timber properties including effects of non-glued edges and additional cracks. Pro Ligno, 13(4), 307-320.
The CLT units are composed of 3x12 m plates. In response to the trend of environmental protection, the segments from modular plates will be reused to make furniture instead of discarded.
