This new-build family home was the second project Harris Calnan completed using a Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structure.
This use of a prefabricated structural system was a perfect response to a tightly constrained inner city site and reduced construction costs and on-site build time.
The CLT structure was also a good match for the complex geometry of the overall form of the house as well as providing a warm and adaptable surface finish to many of the interior spaces.
