Dutch Timber in Detail is now available in English for free
How do we accelerate timber construction in Europe? By sharing more knowledge, proven solutions, and building trust among clients, designers, and construction partners. That is why Houtbouw Architecten and Urban Climate Architects, with the support of Built by Nature, developed the publication Dutch Timber in Detail.
The digital English version is now available for free. The handbook demonstrates how completed Dutch timber projects provide practical lessons for architects, engineers, contractors, developers, housing associations, and municipalities. In doing so, the publication contributes to the growth of timber construction, CLT construction in the Netherlands and biobased building.
As a timber construction architect , Urban Climate Architects works on scalable solutions for sustainable housing, urban densification, and circular construction. Dutch Timber in Detail makes this knowledge more widely accessible, featuring case studies, comparisons of construction details, design strategies, and expert-reviewed reference details.
For clients looking to build with mass timber or Cross Laminated Timber, the handbook offers concrete guidance. Also, view our vision as a CLT architect in the Netherlands and discover how timber construction can contribute to a lower CO₂ impact, shorter construction times, and Paris Proof ambitions.
The Dutch edition is also available in hard copy. Are you working on a housing project, tender, or sustainable development task?
