HLTF provided structural trusses and tongue and groove decking for the roof of this bonsai house and studio in Kennett Square, Pa. The Douglas Fir trusses were designed with solid king posts and elegantly curved glue-laminated (glulam) timber bottom chords. Glulam timbers are extremely versatile and strong and can make possible dramatic shapes, spans, and curves, which would be almost impossible with normal timber stock.
