Art Massif designed and manufactured the mass timber structure of this indoor skating rink, incorporating innovative solutions to combine performance, aesthetics, and installation efficiency. Its imposing curved roof rests on glulam arches spanning over 31 meters, assembled with millimeter precision using rigid joints.
Advanced connection engineering, particularly the glued rods at the top of the columns, ensures a flawless finish with no visible cracks. The optimized design of the column bases promotes water drainage, ensuring increased durability. Optimized roofing materials, with 2×6 decking and prefabricated panels incorporating plywood, provide an economical and aesthetic solution, while significantly reducing installation time.
Thanks to its expertise and commitment to innovation, Art Massif delivered a high-performance and elegant glulam structure, perfectly suited to the community’s needs.

Product Feature
Our beams and columns are architectural-grade glued-laminated timber elements crafted from premium Black Spruce SPF for strength, stability, and refined aesthetics. In this project, they form the primary structural framework while contributing to the warm, natural interior character.
Product Feature
Our curved beams are made from high-grade timber, offering the same strength and stability as straight beams with added architectural flexibility. In this project, they create elegant, flowing lines that enhance the overall design while supporting the structure.
Product Feature
Our mass timber decking is engineered from Black Spruce SPF to Douglas fir, to deliver both structural performance and a finished surface in one solution. In this project, it serves as the main roof deck, adding natural warmth while meeting fire and residential building standards.
Product Feature
Our invisible connection system conceals connectors within the timber, producing clean, uninterrupted surfaces while ensuring strength and durability. In this project, it allows for seamless wood-to-wood connections, enhancing both aesthetics and performance.
