This frigid day has us dreaming of this charming cottage located on a unique lakefront lot within Riding Mountain National Park. The area's exceptional beauty is protected by specific regulations that limit construction to the renovation of existing cottages. Redevelopment of the cottage can include complete rebuilds, but it must remain entirely within the existing building footprint and comply with restrictions on height and hard surfaces. Additionally, exterior materials are restricted to those historically used in early park buildings. Fortunately, the use of timber details is encouraged!

In the evolving landscape of architecture and construction, design teams are increasingly leveraging tall mass timber code provisions to expose the beauty and functionality of timber in innovative ways. With over 80% of current design projects utilizing these new provisions falling within the six- to twelve-story range, we’re witnessing a transformative shift towards sustainable, aesthetic, and resilient building practices.⁠ ⁠ Mass timber is not just about structural integrity; it’s about enhancing the user experience through warm, natural materials that create inviting spaces. By maximizing timber exposure, architects and builders can craft environments that are not only visually stunning but also promote well-being and sustainability. ⁠ ⁠ Here at Cornerstone Timberframes, we’re at the forefront of this movement, collaborating with teams across Canada and the U.S. Our expertise in navigating the complexities of these codes enables us to unlock the full potential of timber in modern design. ⁠ ⁠ Are you considering mass timber for your next project? Let’s connect! ⁠

The employees at Maple Leaf Construction in Winnipeg, Manitoba are looking forward to experiencing their first winter in their new office space. Approximately 30 employees will enjoy this high-quality office space, which is being built for a leading highway and infrastructure company. Exposed wood walls, columns, and beams will be visible in all offices and common areas. The light-colored black spruce is cheerful and calming, helps to moderate indoor humidity levels, and provides uninterrupted attachment points for shelves, partition walls, and fixtures. Black duplex-coated steel connections are largely hidden within the timber, but where visible, they provide a nice visual counterpoint to the wood. Take a look at this project! https://lnkd.in/eesiTe8M

Did you know that mass timber is a sustainable choice for energy efficiency? ⁠ Its natural insulation properties help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems. This not only lowers energy bills but also minimizes your carbon footprint! ⁠ ⁠ The carbon captured during the tree’s growth remains stored in the wood, making it an eco-friendly building material. ⁠ ⁠ Choose mass timber for a greener, more energy-efficient future!
