CLT Office ADU

Status: Under Construction

Location: Durango, CO

Area: 135 ft²

I designed and built this backyard office using prefabricated CLT (cross-laminiated timber) panels and worked with Timber Age Systems, who manufactures the panels locally using sustainably harvested Ponderosa Pine.

Prior to final assembly on site, the structure was shipped to Washington DC and was constructed and displayed in the 2023 HUD Innovative Housing Showcase.

The entire structure including the panels and a helical pier foundation were installed at its permanent site over the course of 3 days. In addition to the speed of construction, the prefabricated panels provide superior air-tightness and thermal performance.
