Very proud to be topping out Heartwood today with this incredible team!!

The ABCs of Tall Mass Timber - DCI Engineers On Wednesday, December 14, the country’s first Type IV-C building is being topped out. Heartwood, an eight-story multi-residential building in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, utilizes cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor panels and a glulam post and beam system.

honored to present our Mass Timber hybrid Steel, Heartwood workforce housing project at Mies' still-gorgeous S.R. Crown Hall building on IIT's campus in Chicago last week for the Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, CTBUH.
Tall Wood advancing!

a sweet and super thoughtful video arrived from friend and GSD colleague, Rick Peterson, of my exclaiming when our Type IV-B code resolution to expose all Mass Timber ceilings up to 12 stories passed through the ICC committee process back in April…I had just testified and it passed - 9-5! Just like that! Thanks to all those amazing fire tests that we did with RISE in October 2020. Now on to the ICC votes in November 2021! What a year!

Thrilled and honored to be recognized for our important, difficult and groundbreaking work by World Architecture News.
Deep thanks to all colleagues past/present and our important US collaborators on so many levels.

INNOVATION IN ARCHITECTURE AWARD from WAN — atelierjones llc thrilled to be recognized internationally for our innovative work with mass timber, from our small house to our current 8-story mass timber housing project, and of course, helping to lower the construction industry's carbon footprint through new codes, fire/lifesafety, and lower carbon construction

incredible honor to be a finalist for World Architecture News’ Female Frontier Awards for Innovation in Architecture. Innovating with lower carbon materials like Mass Timber, and creating design, research and regulatory pathways for its adoption nationally has been one of the greatest challenges and excitements of my professional life. Grateful to all collaborators, from colleagues to leaders across this country. World Architecture News

prefabricated construction during COVID-19 in January 2021 on the highest point in the San Juan islands. atelierjones making it happen.

super fun to be interviewed by Sidewalk Labs for their podcast on prefabricated design snd yes, masstimber!

Our chat with a leading mass timber architect. Plus, a telehealth win. In 2011, Seattle-based architect Susan Jones of the design firm atelierjones decided to fulfill a longtime dream: designing her own home. Jones really wanted to do something that could “inspire, potentially, new sustainable lower carbon technologies that will, who knows, maybe even change construc...

inspired by this work...so critical for our building industry materials!

for our latest mass timber project, atelierjones is able to quantify the amount of mass timber we used, and prepare material takeoffs for a future LCA. We submitted for building permit just a month ago, and now have time to look at our project through different lenses of design.
