Caballerizas MSporthorses: THE RESULT OF A COMBINATION OF WOOD AND TECHNOLOGY
This stable, designed to keep 14 jumping horses, is part of a group of buildings scattered on a piece of land in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. The barn was constructed of Glulam and laminated timber, except for the ceiling clad in selected clear Radiata Pine boards.
DATA SHEET MSPORTHORSES STABLES:
- Year: 2017
- Architect: Matias Zegers
- Client: MS SportHorses
- Type of construction system: Framework system
- Materials: 100 m3 Glulam
- Installation time:: 45 days
The entire structure and enclosures were prefabricated and computationally machined at Niuform's plant in Los Ángeles, Chile. This solution made it possible to develop the complex geometry of the structure, which otherwise would have been unfeasible. Assembly in the field took only 45 days.

Cruz House
Cruz House is a project that clearly shows the many benefits of using Mass Timber and CLT. Thanks to the technology of these materials, this house was built in just two days, highlighting two essential qualities of Niuform CLT: speed and - more importantly - quality.
Puertecillo House
This project in Puertecillo bay excellently shows the meeting of mass timber with nature in an exceptional and inspiring environment.
"Muñequitos" and "Pin Pin Serafín" Kindergartens
Thermal comfort and earthquake-resistant construction: two great qualities featured in the new "Muñequitos" and "Pin Pin Serafín" kindergartens built with CLT. This initiative, promoted by CORFO in conjunction with JUNJI, positions these kindergartens as the first to be built with this material.
CMPC BUILDING, LOS ÁNGELES
The CMPC building in Los Ángeles was primarily built with CLT and GLT-based solutions and features FSC® and LEED® certification, making it a landmark in sustainable architecture.
Santa Olga Footbridge
This project began as a CMPC initiative to rebuild an area that wildfires had consumed entirely. Today the Santa Olga footbridge shows off the best of this beautiful locale thanks to wooden architecture that combines perfectly with the surrounding nature.
