Thanks to the precision and exceptional capacity of our Swiss CNC machining robot, one of the few of its kind in the world, and to our advanced glulam fabrication techniques, Art Massif delivers custom solutions that push the boundaries of design and performance.
With a team of over 50 specialists and a 50,000 ft² facility, Art Massif unites preconstruction, design, engineering, manufacturing, fabrication and installation under one roof. This integration keeps communication clear, decisions quick, and every mass timber project moving forward with precision and in line with the client’s vision. Like mass timber, collaboration is in our nature.
We engage early to assess goals, constraints, and opportunities, using DFMA principles to ensure an optimized mass timber approach from day one.
Our in-house engineering team works side by side with our clients and partners to turn complex designs into buildable, efficient solutions.
From design adjustments to installation strategies, we adapt our process to meet the unique needs of each project without compromising quality.
Through the intelligent design of connections, we optimize material use and unlock the full potential of mass timber. This engineered approach makes long-span trusses possible, creating expansive spaces that push beyond conventional limits while maintaining a clean, architectural look. Each connection balances strength, efficiency, and design intent, delivering structures that are both resource-optimized and enduring.
We bring ambitious designs to life, from sweeping curves to intricate intersections. Through our DFMA approach, early collaboration and advanced modeling, we ensure that even the most complex forms retain their structural integrity. This capability gives architects the freedom to explore organic shapes and unconventional layouts, confident that performance and stability will match their vision.
With our expertise in hybrid trusses, we can bring ambitious building forms to life. By combining mass timber with steel and other materials, we create structures that adapt to complex geometries and open new design possibilities. The result is stunning architecture that is as versatile as it is enduring.
Every detail is carefully considered at each stage of design and production to ensure the precision needed for a fast, flawless installation. By anticipating sequence, logistics, and site conditions early, we minimize complexity and make sure each structure comes together exactly as intended.
5-axis CNC precision
Our 5-axis CNC machine is among the rarest of its kind, equipped with unique tools that deliver unmatched accuracy and expand what’s possible in large-scale connections. With its oversized opening and spacious work area, it handles curves and complex 3D shapes with ease. Dual heads allow faster processing with less handling, ensuring every component fits with precision and performs as designed on site.
In-house engineering & Fabrication
With all core expertise under one roof, our engineers work closely with client teams to bridge the gap between design and execution. Guided by DFMA principles and strong project management, this collaboration streamlines decisions, reduces delays, and ensures the finished structure stays true to its original vision.
Architectural-grade finishes
Mass timber is as much about beauty as it is about strength. We apply meticulous finishing techniques that highlight the material’s natural character while meeting demanding architectural standards. From smooth, consistent surfaces to precise edge detailing, every piece leaves our facility ready to be a visible, celebrated part of the structure.
End-to-end integration
Few mass timber manufacturers manage every stage of a project in-house, from full preconstruction services to final installation. Guided by DFMA principles and respectful of the original architectural vision, our integrated approach minimizes miscommunication, protects design intent, and ensures consistent craftsmanship at every step.
Material Expertise
Different species and grades of timber bring unique strengths, aesthetics, and performance qualities. Our experience allows us to select and work with the right material for each application, optimizing both appearance and long-term durability. This knowledge ensures the material is not just a structural choice, but a design asset.
Quality is built into every step of our process, from wood reception to final delivery. Through rigorous inspections, automated sorting, in-house testing, and careful verification, Art Massif ensures every component meets our standards before it reaches the site.
