For me, the coolest thing about CLT is that since it's made up of such small boards, it can use trees that are taken in forest thinning that would have just gone to firewood or fuel pellets before. A 6" log can yield three or four boards suitable for CLT.

This is the house of the future. Huge congrats to Cross Cabin for putting it all together, must be very satisfying for everyone, especially the new owners.

I love the diversity that is coming into new builds. Please keep it up!!

[DrMJJr]

NOT my cup of tea…HOWEVER, I absolutely LOVE the high degree of thinking and deliberation behind the recyclability of the building’s material composition. I’m not into super modern style homes but it’s intriguing to see such thought put into decisions on thing like the central placement of the HVAC. It might not work in most home layouts but I really love seeing that level of consideration reflected in a homes energy consumption as it’s being designed and built. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We are fast reaching the point where sustainability is going to be the only game in town. Credit to you for being in the vanguard with these gorgeous systems that have a light environmental footprint

I hope stuff like this catches on. A thousand suns could not match the intensity of my hatred of all things drywall and paint. 🌞👍

Fantastic! Thanks for showing off this great modern CLTechnique in a home setting. Glad to see clt making some headway in the US. Nice job Greg catching the falling roll and saving the shot!
I’m a bit skeptical about keeping the shower clean. I remember seeing the cork ceilings above the pool at Hearst Castle, and they held up ok for 80 yrs, but weren’t without problems

All the termites in Florida would love this house.

[SnarlinRando]

Love this build! Cedar in the bathroom would add even more to the aroma factor.

If you're doing exposed duct work, might want to look into fabric ducts. They weigh nearly nothing, they can be any color you want, and you can unzip them and put them in the washer if they get dusty.

I hope my next home has electrical conduit just applied to the inside walls. Easy to install and the electrical inspection is a snap!

I had to show this to my wife because she is always railing on the building industry for not coming up with a better alternative for drywall after all of these years of the same old dusty mess that needs constant repair.

[SequoiaElisabeth]

We are coming full circle, I love it.

CLT seems perfect for garages and tiny homes. Slap a perfect wall on the outside and you’ve got a solid build for small span buildings.

This house comes with a 5 gallon bucket of push pins.

Gorgeous. Thoughtful, innovative… just absolutely stunning. And plants! Grow plants, eat plants, and now… live in plants. I love it! And honestly, I could watch these two talk build talk all day, every single day. More please.

[simplylifeau]

Love the use of cork, was researching what to clad CLT with and found this vid, thanks and well done! 👍

[Will_JJHP]

Very cool house! I DMed you last year about wanting to see more holistic projects that have modern performance with natural materials so - like you said in the video - a house can be torn down in 200 years and turn into compost after 9 months instead of polluting in a landfill. Really inspired by this project. CLT is an amazing product that I hope we see more of in N America

[arhodes]

Love this. Would like to see it completely finished.

[NewResults]

The house looks great Greg!! Congratulations on this beautiful project.
