Cross Laminated Timber

I had a rare opportunity to participate to setting up a Cross Laminated Timber house.
In Finland it is not that common. CLTs are wooden elements that can be cut to any shape in factories.
This gives unique freedom with strange shaped houses.

First we made the footing for the foundations.

Pumping is a nice way to deal with concrete.

Filling in the hillside preasurewalls.

Stones stones..

Then we got the foundation ready for the house..

Filled some more pillars..

Build the wooden base according to the design.

Finally the Cross Laminated Timber came with trucks from europe.

First corner getting fastened!

 

A doorframe :)

Some of the pieces were huge!

Moving to install the roof..

And here it is! It took just two days to get it up.
What a nice modern design for a house.
