Nestled in a stunning natural setting, the project site presented several challenges. Limited accessibility made transporting and assembling construction materials difficult, requiring innovative solutions to ensure a smooth and efficient build. Additionally, the project called for materials that not only delivered exceptional structural performance but also harmonised aesthetically with the environment.

Red Stag TimberLab’s Involvement

Red Stag TimberLab (RSTL) was engaged to supply and manufacture all structural timber components, including Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) floors, walls, and roofs, as well as Glue-Laminated Timber (Glulam) beams and columns. Leveraging its expertise, RSTL provided:

• Off-Site Manufacturing: The structural timber elements were prefabricated off-site to precise specifications, transported, and lifted into place; enabling quick and seamless assembly. This off-site approach not only overcame the site’s accessibility challenges but also expedited the construction process, ensuring smooth progress from the floor slab to the roof.
• Single-Source Supply: RSTL’s ability to act as a single-source supplier for all structural timber elements offered unmatched efficiency. By delivering a combined drawing package, RSTL ensured seamless connection detailing, reduced shop drawing review times, and streamlined on-site installation.

Digital Fabrication
Every component was meticulously modelled in a 3D digital environment, enabling precision CNC profiling for exact dimensions. This approach not only ensured structural integrity but also minimised installation errors. Connections were pre-integrated with brackets and fixings and delivered as a kitset for a flawless and expedited build process.
