The LVL laminated wall connected with Face.Solid connectors realizes space design freed from the concept of columns, beams and load bearing walls. Since the connector is hidden inside the wood and under the floor, a wooden space that makes use of the beauty of the wooden panel as it is realized. In addition, Node.Free connectors are used as a turn buckle to support the roof. Node.Free connector is a ring-shaped truss joint connector that realizes a beautiful wooden long span. However, by using it as a turn buckle in this case, it restrains a thrust of the roof and constitutes a safe wooden structure frame.
