Mass timber continues to surprise us… There is

Mass timber continues to surprise us…

There is a growing call for efficient and sustainable building techniques in the United States and across the globe. Our firm actively investigates and dissects how the mass timber industry can aid in curbing global CO2 emissions produced by the construction industry, as well as how timber is fabricated and implemented into architecture.

Currently, we are engaged in optimizing the unique suitability of prefabricating timber systems in retrofitting older masonry structures that would otherwise face demolition or carbon heavy renovation. We anticipate our Brooklyn Mass Timber House project will be a case study to take to smaller market cities, where an abundance of these structures and lower land costs meet an acute housing crisis.

Our website is about to get a major refresh...

Throughout the pandemic, we have been heads down, busy at work, on a range of exciting and dynamic projects. We are grateful for the continuing dedication of our team and support of our clients.

In the fall of 2020, we launched the first phase of a new website to better reflect our growth as a studio. Over the past few months, we have taken the time to finish the second phase of our website, which is representative of who we are and the work that we do everyday.

Celebrate this milestone with us over at schillerprojects.com on Tuesday, May 4.

The details are finally emerging at Sedona House. Construction is a long journey with many exciting moments. Perhaps our favorite though is when the millwork and the architecture come together in the final weeks. Materials are at the heart of everything we design.

A late season snow storm caught us in the middle of punch-list at the Sedona House. A good reminder of the importance of building science. Climates are not static things where you can design for one condition (hot, cold, salty, dry). They are changing and it requires a multi-disciplinary approach to design long lasting, sustainable buildings in all the different climates our great clients take us to.

Always wonderful to see a building in an unexpected condition, makes you see the project in a new light!

Our approach to lighting design has always been di

Our approach to lighting design has always been diverse and adaptable to our client’s needs and budget, often achieving high-end concepts on a small budget. Our team utilizes a range of affordable, off-the-shelf products, while also
partaking in bespoke collaborations.

The Silvio J. Mollo building is located at 1 St. A

The Silvio J. Mollo building is located at 1 St. Andrews Plaza in lower Manhattan, a stone's throw from the Brooklyn Bridge. The 160,000-square-foot building was completed in 1974, the same year that Mollo left The U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Schiller Projects is leading the workplace strategy review of the space, alongside @krueck.sexton.partners, who are leading the efforts to redesign the base building.

Learn more about Mollo, the namesake of the home of the USAO in New York, in our stories today!

Through the revitalization of the Silvio, J. Mollo

Through the revitalization of the Silvio, J. Mollo building, Schiller Projects will strive to improve the working conditions for attorneys at the Southern District of New York in the interest of supporting the important work they do on a day-to-day basis. We are proudly partnered with @krueck.sexton.partners who are leading the efforts to redesign the base building.

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York role was held by many notable figures, including Robert Morgenthau, James Comey and Mary Jo White, the first-ever woman to be appointed the position in the Southern District of New York.

Learn more about the SDNY Attorney role and its history in our stories today!

@1stdibs Introspective story on @fort_standard is live! We have collaborated with Fort Standard numerous times and were excited to be asked to share some of their products that we have used in our projects. You can read the full story via the link in our bio!

A bit of background: @GregoryBuntain of Fort Standard and Aaron, our principal, shared a wood shop on Water St. in Dumbo. Both worked on their own projects, while also assisting the owner of the shop. It was an amazing space for learning and growing. Since then, Greg and Aaron have continued to collaborate.

We are thrilled to share the news about our involvement in the modernization of the Silvio J. Mollo Federal Building in lower Manhattan, which is home to The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

Schiller Projects is leading the workplace strategy review of the USAO’s offices and teams in New York. We are creating a data-driven picture of how, where and why they work the way they work in order to help this important institution rethink its architecture for the 21st century.

We are proudly partnered with @krueck.sexton.partners who are leading the efforts to redesign the base building. We thank the team for its excellent leadership in this endeavor and thrilled to be working on behalf of the inspiring attorneys who work at the USAO.

We are excited to be attending the International @MassTimberConference again this year - albeit, virtually! We believe that mass timber holds the potential to address some of the world’s most pressing issues; including combating climate change, establishing affordable housing and creating viable jobs in the construction sector. There is so much to admire about mass timber!

This afternoon, our principal, Aaron Schiller will be presenting at @archpaper’s Timber Con 2021, which is hosted in partnership with The Mass Timber Institute.

Aaron will speak alongside Vince Lee of @rogerspartners at 2:50pm EST about how we can begin to fill gaps with mass timber.

We are humbled to be asked to present alongside distinguished thought-leaders and members of the mass timber community.

Registration can be found via the link in our bio. We hope to see you there!

Schiller Projects has worked with timber for a number of years; from the shou sugi ban exterior of #ChilmarkHouse, to the overlapping timber panels that make up our London Timber Pavilion.

We aim to include timber in our projects where and when possible, for both the benefit of our clients and the planet.

Here are some of our most favorite timber moments in both upcoming and completed projects.

In light of our upcoming panel at @archpaper’s T

In light of our upcoming panel at @archpaper’s Timber Con, we would love to tell you a little more about mass timber and the wide range of benefits that come with using timber as a building material.

Did you know that?...

1) Emissions for timber buildings are 31% lower than comparable structures of concrete, and 26% lower than steel. (Think Wood)

2) Mass timber buildings are roughly 25% faster to construct than concrete buildings, require 90% less construction traffic and 75% fewer workers on site. (Think Wood)

3) They have 1/3 of the greenhouse gas warming potential of concrete buildings, and nearly half that of steel buildings. (Structurelam)

4) They are incredibly fire-resistant - exposed timber chars on the outside, which forms an insulating layer protecting interior wood from damage. (Think Wood)

5) The buildings weigh approximately 1/5th that of comparable concrete buildings, which in turn reduces their foundation size, inertial seismic forces and embodied energy. (Think Wood)

There’s a lot to love about building with timber!

This Friday, we are thrilled to be speaking at @archpaper’s TimberCon! To register for the event, see the #linkinourbio.

Over the course of the week, we will be sharing information about Mass Timber, from highlighting all of its fantastic benefits, to sharing our own explorations in timber construction.

But first, what is mass timber?

Mass Timber is a family of lumber-based products and an alternate construction approach that offers cost value in the form of time-savings. In addition, the allure of materials combined with significant positive environmental impact, compared to traditional building strategies such as concrete and steel structures, make timber panelization a unique pre-fabrication strategy.
