Timber Strong Design Build

Sustainable timber structure, Simpson Strong-Tie Competition

Timber Strong Design Build

A ground-up exercise in building with wood — from connection details to material recovery. Our team designed and constructed a two-story wood light-framed structure while developing a full sustainability plan that coordinated the responsible disposal and recycling of construction materials. The project taught me how aesthetics, structure, and stewardship are inseparable conversations, not sequential ones.
