Deck House by Assadi & Pulido, Chile

The client wanted a deck of wood. where it would be possible to  incorporate in different areas of the house. However, this terrace lead to interior space that was enough only for a large living area connected to it.

So the architect have created:

 - Kind of folding  deck that match the slope of the site

- Outside area is worked as a free zone that rests over the relief 

- The interior as a capsule of glass incorporated to the folding of this wood board.

"The board of wood this deck generates runs along all the house, from the lowest part, - where a swimming pool has been added - to the upper cover, turning into the roof, showing since the first glimpse to the house, the use of wood everywhere."

Dellis Cay villas by Shigeru Ban

Japanese architect has designed those two private villas in the Caribbean. I loved the concept of exposing the structural element and intergarate it with natural views

Jubilee Campus - The green campus

The University of Nottingham is committed to environmental excellence. This can be seen in the award-winning environment and design practices on their campuses, research and course provision

The Jubilee Campus is a modern purpose-built campus which now extends to 65 acres and is located only one mile from University Park.

LONGWELL GREEN LEISURE CENTRE

This new leisure centre houses a pool hall, fitness suite, café, and associated office and changing-room facilities. 

The pool hall: (learner and an adult pool)

- A precast concrete structure

- Rectangular in plan with a timber roof.

- Wrapped around it on two sides is a second, steel framed building, L-shaped in plan, clad in masonry and timber. This houses ancillary facilities.

- The timber roof  a span of 19 m. The architect was keen to achieve a flat soffit with as few joins as possible. Our solution involves the use of bespoke prefabricated glulam and Kerto units a full 19 m long and 1.8 m wide, craned into place and waterproofed on site.

Bracing the pool hall structure posed a challenge, particularly as the exposed elevation is extensively glazed. Two rows of precast concrete columns, cantilevered off the ground floor slab, provide the necessary stability.

Glulam in sport structures ..

Glulam in sport structures ..

Post Finance Arena

A Richmond Olympic Oval belseje, Kanada

Sports structures are a particularly suitable application for wide-span glulam roofs. This is supported by the light weight of the material, combined with the ability to furnish long lengths and large cross-sections. Prefabrication is invariably employed and the structural engineer needs to develop clear methods statements for delivery and erection at an early stage in the design. The Post Finance Arena is an example of a wide-span sports stadium roof using glulam arches reaching up to 85 metres. The structure was built in Berne in 1967, and has subsequently been refurbished and extended.
The roof of the Richmond Olympic Oval, built for speed skating events at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, features one of the world's largest clearspan wooden structures. The roof includes 2,400 cubic metres of Douglas-fir lamstock lumber in glulam beams. A total of 34 yellow-cedar glulam posts support the overhangs where the roof extends beyond the walls.
