This project was assembled by a homeowner-builder and intended for personal all-season recreational use.
System 02 is crafted to have a minimal environmental impact on the site. Interior space is designed to be flexibly modular - with a range of efficient floor plans and flex bay options, it can accommodate families or groups. The structural system is comprised of a sustainably harvested engineered glulam timber frame, clad with prefabricated insulated wall/roof/floor panels. The envelope system can be customized to meet Net Zero and Passive House standards.
