Timberlab

MASS TIMBER CONSTRUCTION AND INNOVATION

We are experienced builders on a bold mission: to innovate, produce, and deliver mass timber solutions like no other - transforming the built environment and changing the planet’s future.

We’re driven to test new ideas and reach new heights through transparency, collaboration, and creativity. Breaking boundaries and pushing forward with inspired motivation. We see projects through the eyes of the builder. When they say “It won’t work” or “This hasn’t been done before,” we show them how—eliminating speculation and mitigating risk.

MISSION

To accelerate the mainstream adoption of mass timber in the U.S. commercial construction market to benefit the planet and its people.

VISION

A world where buildings have a low carbon footprint and high community impact.

TIMBER CANOPY REVITALIZES MEMPHIS RIVERFRONT

Timberlab was hired as a supply partner for the civic canopy structure, a central space acting as the front porch to the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee’s reimagined Tom Lee Park. The canopy is an open-air structure featuring six vertical supports composed of delicately arranged steel pipes from which spans a rigorous and structurally dramatic timber frame. Timberlab worked closely with the design team to provide constructability feedback for connection design and CNC fabrication. The Southern Yellow Pine glulam beams typically measure 10.5 x 48" in shape with combined lengths of up to 130' long. The beams are all fabricated in Timberlab's facility in Portland, OR and will be shipped to Memphis for construction beginning summer of 2022.
