Standing the test of time, material is history, and Michael Green designs using material to expand its purpose. The client sought to expand the Ottawa Airport, so Michael as a Project Principal joined forces at his predecessor firm to find a design solution for expansion. Through a mechanical connection, tension stress experienced in the beam in the lateral direction is transferred to the column where gravity takes over. A truss system effectively transfers compressive loads to columns that are the main support for the frame. The column to beam system is reinforced with a truss system, which creates structural stability. I respect Michael Green, his designs justly reduce congestion, renew interior and exterior finishes that exhibit dysfunction, and facilitates time and materials by transforming the efficiency of a system. Often renovating is a cost effective approach for a building experiencing degradation. ![]() Adding to the timber frame transformed a central dinning hall and increased seating areas. With a modest budget and a short time window for construction, Michael’s design serve to maximize space through centralized circulation to mitigate congestion and frustration during busy seasons, this was accomplished by aesthetically establishing clear functions for space inside the building.

Michael remembered a series of fixtures from the TEKA Illumination Class he had been introduced to during B-K Lighting's B-K University event, (Class of Psi 2014). With humidity and a wet environment to consider, Michael’s job was complex. The beams were pieced together and then held with wood pegs.Īs the plans for the Pool House unfolded, Michael discussed lighting and suggested the fixtures that would soon be used for this project. Unique in structure, the Pool House boasts that there were no nails used during the assembly. Mike got to watch the whole project come to life and after many great ideas, it grew into a very large project with a beautiful end result, which is now known as the Timber Frame Pool House.Įach beam of the Timber Frame structure was hand cut and hewed giving each beam a rustic and authenic look.
