This prefabricated hybrid system is conceived as a rational yet expressive framework where structure, performance, and constructability converge. By combining light-gauge steel open-web joists, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), glued-laminated timber, and HSS steel tubing, the system leverages the inherent strengths of each material while minimizing their limitations.
Steel elements provide precision, long spans, and structural clarity; engineered timber introduces warmth, carbon efficiency, and tactile quality; SIPs act as both enclosure and environmental regulator, integrating structure and insulation into a single, high-performance layer. All components are digitally coordinated and pre-cut off-site, transforming construction into a process of assembly rather than fabrication.
This approach repositions the building site as a place of orchestration rather than improvisation—reducing waste, shortening construction timelines, and improving quality control. The system is inherently modular and adaptable, capable of responding to different scales, programs, and climates while maintaining architectural coherence.
Ultimately, the project proposes an architecture of intelligence rather than excess: a system where material efficiency, environmental performance, and spatial flexibility form the foundation for contemporary, sustainable off-site construction.
