In 2018, Alì Supermercati decided to extend its existing regional commercial network with a new shopping mall located in Via Noalese, Treviso, Italy. The project, designed by Studio Signorotto Architettura of Treviso, includes a glued-laminated timber roof, which integrates with the area’s existing wood structures, characterized by a perfect aesthetic design and quality building material.
Designed to store nearly 2 million library volumes and works of art, the University of Arkansas Library Annex in Fayetteville was built with cross-laminated timber (CLT) roofs, walls, and floors, and glulam beams, columns, and moment frames.
The bridge structure of Isarsteg as integrating artwork fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Taking nature as an example, the bridge spans the Isar river like a branched limb. Together, the ramps, stairs, columns, and horizontal beams represent the spatial framework. The pedestrian and cycle bridge, 525 ft long in total, was made of weather-resistant structural steel, S355 J2G2W (corten steel).
The new roofing system for the GULFIN Cameroun oil company's filling station in Douala is a particular structure with eccentric columns and non-symmetric cantilevered 21-foot-long beams.
The new Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama is the first cross‑laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in the United States. It opened its doors in 2016.
