Generate to build carbon-neutral CLT apartment block in Boston



Architecture studio Generate has unveiled plans to build a carbon-neutral apartment block, named Model-C, in Boston using a cross-laminated timber "kit of parts".
The proposed five-storey block will use Generate's Model-C prototype "kit of parts" system, which is a type of modular prefabrication that allows for disassembly and reuse.
It is intended to achieve the Passivhaus standard for energy efficiency and will aim to operate at a net-zero-carbon level, which will make it an important example of a more sustainable building, according to Generate.
"To our knowledge, it will be one of the most sustainable buildings in America," CEO John Klein told Dezeen.
The parts will be made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) ? an engineered wood consisting of laminated timber sections. The material is less energy-intensive than conventional materials like concrete and steel.
The start-up has teamed up with local developer Placetailor, which focuses on creating Passivhaus, net-zero energy, and net-zero carbon, to develop the project.
Once complete, it will be the city's "first ground-up, full cross-laminated-timber Passivhaus", according to Generate.
Klein, who has built large-scale mass timber structures such as The Longhouse as part of his research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), said it will be "one of the most sustainable buildings in the US".
"By replacing conventional concrete and steel construction materi...
