Flatiron
An interior project photo showcasing mass timber construction, exposed structural connections, and a curved window wall ideal for sustainable commercial office design precedents.
- What we like about this project
- Steel gusset plate connections at timber column-beam junctions integrate industrial precision into the natural wood structure.

- Geometry
- Open-plan rectangular floor plate bounded by a gently curved exterior wall with regularly spaced vertical windows, punctuated by an orthogonal grid of heavy timber columns.
- Facade system
- Punched window assemblies set into a rhythmic perimeter frame.
- Structural guess
- Heavy timber post-and-beam framing with steel gusset connections and a concrete floor slab.
- Spatial scale
- Generous floor-to-ceiling height suited for a commercial office environment, approximately 12 to 14 feet.
- Lighting
- Bright, even daylight flooding through the continuous perimeter windows, casting soft shadows beneath the timber beams.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, natural, and spacious with a clean structural clarity.
- Environmental context
- Interior commercial office floor showing surrounding urban and industrial context through full-height perimeter glazing.
- Spatial experience
- A bright, open workspace feeling grounded by warm timber structures and expansive daylight sweeping across polished floors.
- Composition rhythm
- A rhythmic column grid paired with steady vertical window mullions following the curved perimeter.
