MASS TIMBER HOUSING GEEKS

Yep. That’s us. atelierjones is geeking out over here. Today we found out that we are using almost three times the amount of sustainably-harvested Pacific Northwest wood than concrete for our 8-story middle income housing project in central Seattle. We’re excited to be planning a project that houses 126 folks with such a light impact on our environment! See more at our material takeoffs detail under Mass Timber Middle Income Housing project.

MASS TIMBER EIGHT-STORY HOUSING ANNOUNCED FOR CAPITOL HILL

atelierjones is leading a vertically integrated team to design and build a 61,000 SF middle income housing project in the heart of Capitol Hill. The project is being designed to use a mass timber structural system, from locally sourced, sustainably harvested timber. The eight-story, 114-unit project will utilize the new Type IVC building codes, which our founder, Susan Jones, helped to craft as part of the ICC Tall Wood Building Committee from 2016-2019.
