I am completely intrigued by this, and want to know more about it. Did they make it? Was it store bought? The snot drops can be found for pretty cheap- so how would you attach them? Anybody?
I also SUPER love the white cabinet!

A research project recently completed at FPInnovations showed that CLT panels have the potential to provide excellent fire resistance, often comparable to typical heavy construction laminated timber house assemblies of non-combustible construction. CLT panels can maintain significant structural capacity for an extended duration of time when exposed to fire.
ReplyDeleteKeep in mind, CLT is just another form of glue laminated timber (glulam). It is just wood, so it designs and builds clt architecture on the earlier technology. CLT panels, like other industry panels (precast concrete or SIP panels), provide easy handling during construction and a high level of prefabrication facilitation and rapid project completion.
A conventional wood installation crew with other panel CLT building experience can lift, set, and screw down CLT panels, and with a manufacturer provided installation plan, it goes even faster
CLT is manufactured CLT technology lumber from trees harvested from sustainably managed forests, and mostly Mountain Pine Beetle kill trees. If we don’t use them, they decay and emit carbon back into the atmosphere.
Wood is also the only primary structural material cross laminated timber solutions that grows naturally and is renewable. In fact, according to “Sustainable Forestry in North America,” during the last 50 years less than 2% of the standing tree inventory in the U.S. was harvested each year, while net tree growth was three percent.
When considering the total in-place value of a passive house construction system, it is cost competitive to other plate building materials. But you also need to consider all the value added benefits:
• More savings can be found in the reduced installation cost, usually 50% cheaper than installing other plate materials.
• With an earlier project completion date, you are open for business sometimes months ahead of schedule.
• The building structure will weigh less than half the weight of other construction types, so the foundation costs less money.
• Job site safety is dramatically increased due to the prefabricated CLT panels and usually the only power tools are pneumatic drills.
The intent of CLT is not to replace light-frame construction smart house solutions but rather to offer a versatile, low-carbon, and cost-competitive wood-based solution that complements the existing light frame and heavy timber options while offering a suitable candidate for some applications that currently use concrete, masonry, and steel.
Naked House’ is a London-bred solution to unaffordable housing. The concept ensures affordability through minimalism; the Naked House is essentially a well designed Cross Laminated Timber shell’ structure built from durable, low cost materials without any of the cost-adding finishings that typically come with off -the-shelf ‘affordable’ housing making them unnecessarily expensive. Under this model the home is 100% affordable with 100% ownership affording homeowners the security of long term tenure. In this way homeowners have the flexibility to furnish, modify and expand their homes to meet their needs as and when they can afford to do so.
