Steel, Glulam and CLT

This new 21m x 21m worship hall is the centrepiece to the new St. Philips Church, just outside Birmingham. The structure consists of glulam timber portal frames with a 13m tall ridge. Tisserin Engineers were appointed as specialist timber engineers to design the timber frame superstructure which included timber connection design and detailing.

What our clients say

"Tisserin have supported us from day one to completion, helping guide the early concept through to completion on site. They were invaluable in delivering our project – a new home with an internally exposed CLT frame, on a highly constrained site - where the structure is an integral part of the architecture. Clear communicators, innovative thinkers, passionate about sustainable design - Tisserin are equally capable with the bigger picture and the finer details - we look forward to working with them in the future."

— Chris Wong, Architect

"Having worked with Bola on a number of projects during his time at his previous practice, we were delighted to continue working together when he established Tisserin Engineers. Over the past few years, we have successfully delivered several mass timber projects in partnership and look forward to building on this relationship in the future. The team is reliable, professional, and consistently delivers high quality results, even under tight timelines."

— Joe Hall, Project Manager, G-Frame Ltd
