Student Names: Emma Haukom and Amy Caran
Project Name: Love Your Curves - Triplex Designed with Cross-Laminated Timber
Course: Undergraduate Studio 05
Course Instructors: Samuel Daley and Nat Madson
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Emma Haukom and Amy Caran's triplex scheme explores the possibilities of using crosslaminated timber as an application to residential housing construction. Early on, we became very interested in the ability to use prefabricated apertures that transform space. Specifically, the proliferating forms of an archway. Cross-laminated timber also has the unique opportunity to utilize a balloon framing system in which the walls may support floors at varying heights. For the design of a triplex, Emma and Amy utilized these two methods to create a unique environment for each unit without compromising the structural integrity of the material system. These two actions yield an array of varying levels of enclosure that is defined by a series of different archway variations.
