renovation

description

This is my graduation project. A study and critique of contemporary Canadian building practices has proven that traditional materials and construction techniques have become archaic, irresponsible, and wasteful. CLT, a modern wood technology is explored and improved to incorporate innovations in raw material sourcing, prefab manufacturing, and augmentable operation. Designing with this new technology also expands the products potential. Some key design features are within modular architecture, remote living structures, differing concepts in home ownership, and sustainable incentives $$$. Ultimately, I would like to answer this question: Can we build a home that will grow with our family, retain it's value, be completely sustainable, and live forever?
