A CLT production hall for a sawmill on the Llobregat. The hall is long and thin, about 1:20, on a 6 m grid. Beech LVL shed girders carry prefabricated CLT roof cassettes; north glazing lights the floor without putting sun on the scanners, and photovoltaics take the south slopes. Every repeated part is a parametric Revit family, and every element carries a material passport so the building can be taken apart and used again.
