On this episode, we speak with Willy Chandler (Holst Architecture), Bryan Ware (Walsh Construction Co), and Russ Brotnov about the Julia West House Project. They discuss the unique challenges that came with building on a small footprint, design choices that highlighted mass timbers use on the project, and how "mass timber saves the day!"
