Thirteen arches span 222 feet and provide a clear height of 59 feet at the center of the stadium, which seats 450 spectators.   ‘I wouldn’t take credit for […]

In the last note ‘Chop down embedded carbon in new builds’, we explained why it would be a good idea to reduce carbon incrusted in construction materials, but…   What is embodied carbon?   In the building life cycle embodied carbon is the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the

In ‘Posada José Ignacio’, 532 m3 of wood were used, which is equivalent to 580 tons of Co2 contained in the infrastructure, which is equivalent to removing 122 cars from the automotive plaza for 1 year.   The latest generation of energy-efficiency regulations laid out in provincial building codes is aimed at decarbonizing the long-term

The sustainable arguments for wood construction are many. The construction industry is one of the biggest contributors to the negative climate impact and building in wood can save us a lot of carbon emission. Then why don’t we use more wood? The biggest challenges are the lack of knowledge and hands-on experiences. Political and legal

According to architect Richard Witt, a principal at Quadrangle and designer of one of Toronto’s first tall-timber projects, the city has more such projects in the approvals pipeline than any other place in North America.

TreeHugger is a media outlet dedicated to driving environmental sustainability. They has been covering the mass timber scene for a dozen years, starting with Waugh Thistleton’s timber tower in Hackney. Now Tim Smedley of the BBC talks to Andrew Waugh and writes a really thorough article that looks at the benefits of building with wood.

The City of Denver voted on December 23, 2019, to adopt the 2019 Denver Building Code, which includes the tall mass timber code provisions approved for the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). As part of the adoption of the new code, there will be a four-month period where new projects can use either the 2016

CLT is a system of Contralaminated Wood (or Cross Laminated Timber – CLT) noted for its strength, appearance, versatility and sustainability. This product is made up of wooden panels made from layers of solid sawn wood and joined together in a cross shape by means of structural glue. This system of pieces of great structural

We receive recognition for innovation in the construction process of the José Ignacio Inn thanks to the results in thermal efficiency, achieving shorter construction times using solid counter-laminated wood panels or CLT, and for the incorporation of efficient lighting technologies.     Enkel Group Uruguay adopts the “Smart Choices” concept as a philosophy of life

More than 4000 feet built in record time!   Enkel Group continues to mark the path of innovation through wood construction, with the expansion of Anastasio Hotel and Beach Club, a maritime inn and inn complex located a few steps from the beach in José Ignacio, Uruguay.     Enkel Group was responsible for the
