Loblolly House

Elements of a New Architecture

KieranTimberlake Associates

A monograph on Loblolly House, designed and built by KieranTimberlake Associates. Through the use of state-of-the-art building information modeling (BIM), the architects were able to streamline the design-build process and create fully modular and award-winning house, featuring an active and adjustable double-skin facade. Consisting of 70 per cent prefabricated components, the kit-of-parts house was assembled (mostly with a wrench) and lifted into place on-site in less than six weeks.

Loblolly House contains extensive photographic documentation and numerous detailed drawings; it includes a DVD of the film “A House in the Trees” by producers Rick Deppe and Kathleen Blake, a real-time documentary of the design, fabrication and assembly of Loblolly House.
