Description.
Situated within an ecological town, the building features an undulating, free-form roof inspired by the surrounding mountains and lakes. The sweeping interior space seamlessly bridges the gap between nature and architecture, offering a truly immersive environment.
To realize such complex, sweeping geometries, the design relies on an advanced parametric Glulam structure. The custom-curved timber ribs not only provide exceptional load-bearing capacity but also introduce a rhythmic, tactile warmth to the interior. It perfectly demonstrates how high-performance engineered wood can liberate architectural forms, turning rigid structures into fluid art.
At Arbor Source, we empower architectural firms to bring similar visionary designs to life across New Zealand. Supported by our senior architects and timber specialists, we provide comprehensive shop drawings and bespoke Glulam fabrication. We ensure every custom component seamlessly meets strict local compliance, transforming your ambitious concepts into structural reality.
