Pre-engineered trusses make up the exterior walls.

A red pine column will support the roof beam.

The fir roof beams are bolted to steel branch brackets and stress skin panels are supported by fir purlins.

The interior showing finishes and built in perimeter shelving.

These construction images show the framing and structure for this 650 square foot designers office. Manufactured trusses frame the sloped exterior walls and create space for recessed bookcases at the office perimeter. Red pine trees were stripped of their bark and used as structural columns and custom steel branch brackets support the roof carrying beams. For finish images, see:
