This 2024 AIA Colorado Design Award of Excellence in Sustainability is a new construction project focused on creating a sustainable, 100+ year building using innovative materials and construction techniques. The design features a unique interior environment with a mass timber wall, suspended glass curtain, and biophilic elements that foster collaboration and a connection to nature. Native vegetation surrounds the structure, blending it seamlessly with the nearby natural open space.

Tour Summary:

1 Line | Mass Impact: Creative use of timber for the small majority

Reaching for the masses, the lesser-known small structures that make up a sizable portion of the built world hold immense potential to impact the environment. While integration of mass timber has typically been associated with large buildings representing 3% of the built environment in the U.S. - One Line Studio shifts the focus to the small majority exploring the innovative use of timber in small structures and emphasizing the creation of durable, low-maintenance buildings that are deeply connected to their surroundings.

With a focus upon creative problem solving, this is a discussion of opportunity, strategy, and practicality based upon lessons learned in creating integrated mass timber ecosystems.
