North Cascades Bank - Chelan

The North Cascades Bank headquarters is a stunning example of modern architecture that showcases the beauty and versatility of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glue-Laminated (Glulam) construction. The bank is located in the charming town of Chelan, Washington, nestled in the heart of the North Cascades mountain range.

The building is designed with sustainability in mind, utilizing eco-friendly materials that reduce the carbon footprint of the construction process. The CLT walls, roof, and floors provide excellent insulation, ensuring that the building is energy-efficient and comfortable for employees and customers alike. The use of Glulam columns and beams not only adds structural stability but also gives the building a warm and welcoming feel.

In addition to being a modern and sustainable building, the North Cascades Bank headquarters is also an excellent example of how CLT and Glulam construction can be used to create unique and visually stunning structures. The combination of natural materials and modern design elements creates a building that is both functional and beautiful, making it a point of pride for the local community.

Overall, the North Cascades Bank headquarters is a shining example of sustainable building practices that prioritize the environment, the local community, and the comfort of those who work and do business inside the building.
