This studio class project is a factory built from mass timber that will house a mass timber housing manufacturer at the Port of Portland's Terminal 2 on the Willamette river. This project was designed for Mass Plywood Panels (MPP). This studio project was done as a group. This is not a real, built project.
Timber stitch is a timber construction system which uses reclaimed lumber and cabled connections.
The base of the building is obscured within a lushly planted garden framing the entry canopy between two recessed fluted columns accessed via a curving pathway. The entrance sequence begins to transition the external concepts more internally through a refined natural material palette and crafted details. The first indication of this is the timber door ornamented with a sculpted cast bronze, silver dipped door handle.
