sun studies in building design

A sun-path study can help improve solar performance in new construction.  This important step done early in the design process can help capture passive solar heating durring winter months and minimize exposure in the summer.

a timber truss system currently in design

Here is a quick 3D study used in design and engineering the timber trusses for a current project.   We are likely moving toward more steel at the top chord, and tying back into the building with a series of beams.  Check back to see the final result!
