This might change your expectations of modular construction—not as merely a cost-cutting benefit, but as a precision-crafted system capable of beauty, performance, and permanence.
In Montana Peter Rose and his Integrated Design Cubed (IDCUBED team are bringing a European approach to North America. With the completion of the first large-scale mass timber modular building in the United States—a 120-module workforce housing project in Montana named Bucks T-4 Housing—his team is proving that modular housing can be elegant, efficient, and refined.
The Bucks T-4 Housing project by IDCUBED represents another exemplary structural approach. The project is the first large-scale use of mass timber modular construction in the United States. Think Wood’s article describes how the developers used the speed, precision, and simplicity of off-site fabrication of CLT modules to create 96 units of affordable workforce housing in a location—Big Sky, Montana—where affordable construction labour is difficult to come by.
WoodWorks Issue – 16 Dec 2025
Welcome
Greetings from your WoodWorks team. We would like your feedback please, we are looking for potential regional site visits to mass timber building projects – one for each quarter. In addition to the site visits we will be hosting panel discussions on key topics raised by our conference delegates mentioning topics they would like to see more of. Read on to submit your feedback, and other stories in this issue below.
- One for the engineers ~ Limberlost Place in Toronto is Ontario’s first tall timber net-zero carbon emission institutional building. Fast + Epp developed an innovative large-span beamless structural system for this 16,000 m2 exposed mass timber building.
- This might change your expectations of modular construction—not as merely a cost-cutting benefit, but as a precision-crafted system capable of beauty, performance, and permanence.
- Great example of a new office and retail project in mass timber. From Austin, Texas we’ve got insights into a mixed used development that is well served by using CLT and glulam.
