🏗️ Where history meets modern timber engineering
The Timber Truss Roof project for the renovation of the Episcopal Palace is a strong example of how contemporary structural design can respectfully enhance historic architecture.
Orgánica Ingeniería en Madera presents this remarkable intervention involving six large timber trusses forming the new roof structure for part of the building, covering 2,100 m² (22,604 sq ft).
🔹 clear span without intermediate supports: 20.5 m (67.3 ft)
🔹 roof length: 19.7 m (64.6 ft)
🔹 truss height: 4.62 m (15.2 ft)
This project demonstrates how timber structures can:
- preserve the identity of heritage buildings
- deliver long-span solutions with structural efficiency
- support sustainable and future-oriented renovation strategies
A powerful reminder that timber engineering plays a key role not only in new architecture, but also in the revitalization of historic landmarks.
