Challenge
The project implemented modular dimensional timber construction to expedite the construction process but the design intent was to mask this modularity. In addition, the operational public spaces also created a challenge from an energy perspective to meet the provincial energy targets.
Solution
In order to create a subtle nod to modularity but avoid joints reading through the cladding, the sequence followed a traditional rainscreen approach but added attention to detailing the waterproofing and air barrier at module joints as a key design feature while also ensuring a high performance envelope
