FROM RECLAIMED LOGS TO STRUCTURAL PRECISION: A DIALOGUE BETWEEN WOODS

The project uses two types of wood in different ways. Reclaimed pine logs are used for the glulam forms, while oak—a much stronger hardwood—is used for the glulam structure that shapes the exterior and roof. Together, these materials create a unique system where softwood and hardwood work in balance, both visually and structurally.

By combining different types of timber, the design enhances both the structure's appearance and performance. The oak glulam parts provide strength and precision, while the pine logs add warmth and character. This mix shows how reclaimed and engineered wood can be given new life through modern construction and fabrication methods.
