Built entirely out of cross-laminated timber (CLT), the summer house serves as a tranquil escape for a family of four, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life while maintaining all modern conveniences. The home's layout is thoughtfully designed to enhance family interaction and comfort. The open-plan living area on the ground floor boasts expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The design approach was centered on achieving economic efficiency both in construction and operational costs. Emphasis was placed on the health of the building and, by extension, the health of its occupants. By meticulously integrating passive and active strategies identified through a data-driven process, the design ensures both cost-effectiveness and occupant well-being.

Every aspect, from the building's orientation to optimize natural daylight and ventilation to the use of materials promoting indoor air quality, was thoughtfully considered to create a healthy, economically efficient home.
