STRUCTURAL AND AESTHETIC BENEFITS OF GLULAM BENDING TECHNIQUES WITH RECLAIMED TIMBER

The glulam technique is employed throughout the entire structure, from the curved footing to the bending roof. All timber components shaped using reclaimed log forms rely on this method. Glulam construction offers remarkable flexibility, allowing for a wide range of shapes and dimensions while maintaining a refined, visually appealing character—even across long spans.

Because timber performs optimally when loads follow the grain, bending wood rather than cutting it often results in greater material efficiency, durability, and structural performance. By applying glulam bending strategies to both the exterior and the roof, a strong, resilient structure can be formed using reclaimed glulam logs. This approach also creates a new design dialogue between the bent glulam elements and the reclaimed log forms, enhancing both structural performance and architectural expression.
