FUTURES INSTITUTE
AT DOLLAR ACADEMY

The dome’s supporting structure is a sophisticated design comprising glulam beams, connected by custom-designed and bespoke steel connection nodes. This is complemented by triangular industrial elements, constructed using a lightweight timber frame system. Our Timber Intelligence, with its utmost precision in engineering, production and project management, ensures flawless on-site execution.

The dome will later be enclosed with EFTE cushions, which will flood the interior with plenty of natural light. In the central space below, we are constructing a stepped wooden gallery that will connect the ground floor with the upper storey – an inspiring place for personal interaction, relaxation and events.

The aim of the entire design is to reduce CO₂ emissions to a minimum through efficient architecture and a careful, sustainable choice of materials. Furthermore, the concept creates a building that blends gently and respectfully into the historic grounds of the Dollar Academy in terms of form and materiality.
