in their former office
building to limit solar
glare and heat gain.
“We understood that
light was an issue,”

façade solution.”

We didn’t want to deviate from the

idea of using timber as the primary
construction material. “Wood and

Wood (formerly Finnforest). The base layer comprises 156 0.83-
inch-thick sheets of Kerto, which are finished in a dark stain and
treated for weather and fungal resistance. Perpendicular to these
panels are the lighter-color curvilinear fins. Juxtaposed together,
the different hues add depth of the cube-shaped building. “We were
… interested in working with the kind of duality between the
lightness and heaviness of wood,” Attia says
