Motus Consult was tasked with providing full structural and enclosure engineering services for a new timber shop and adjoining suite. The primary goal was to maintain the visual purity of the heavy timber construction without the distraction of conventional steel brackets.
We leveraged the innovative Timberlinx system to replace visible connections. From initial design to final detailing, we ensured every connector was hidden, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to take center stage while meeting rigorous load requirements.
Replaced conventional steel brackets with the Timberlinx system to maintain a clean, uninterrupted timber aesthetic.
Rigorous load analysis and connection design ensured the structure meets all safety requirements without compromising design.
Detailed coordination between structural elements and the building enclosure for a flawless finish.
