Built by Nature funds new Handbook on CLT detailing in mass timber construction developed by Urban Climate Architects and MAATworks.

Our latest grant output resulted in a handbook for professionals to confidently scale mass timber design and construction through the study of real-life timber construction projects, in particular the analysis of their technical details, in the Netherlands.

This handbook is part of a wider effort to make mass timber design more standardised so architects, engineers, contractors and designers can design and build with confidence.

In this handbook you’ll find:
– Over 20 real-life case-studies of multi-storey timber buildings;
– 30 fully developed LoD500 reference details that can be applied directly in both design and construction practice

Currently in Dutch, the English version will also be made available soon.

Read the ‘Mass timber housing in detail; reference details and lessons learned from Dutch residential buildings’ Version 1.0 in our Knowledge Hub.
