About Tridome Structures

Nurturing people, communities, and our planet.

Tridome Structures is working towards a better future in the building sector.

Our Story

At Tridome Structures, we believe exceptional buildings begin with extraordinary intention. We create spaces that feel grounded, human, and connected, structures shaped not only by engineering and craft but by respect for the natural materials we work with.

Our work starts at the source. Through Timberwise, our mill, we reclaim and mill local urban-forest wood, ensuring that the material entering our shop carries a clear origin, reduced footprint, and genuine purpose. This gives Tridome a level of control, transparency, and care that is rare in today’s building industry, and it allows us to craft mass timber elements that feel as honest as they are beautiful.

From glulam posts and beams to NLT panels, curved CLT, and architectural timber components, our fabrication process is rooted in precision and guided by the belief that buildings should support the well-being of the people who use them. Our approach shortens timelines, reduces waste, and produces biophilic environments that feel warm, natural, and deeply intentional.

We bring structure to life by honoring where it begins.

This is the Tridome difference.

“Nature is not a place to visit, it is home.” – Gary Snyder

*a biophilic environment is a space that pulls nature into its architecture in order to better the physical and mental wellbeing of those interacting with it; it operates under the principle that humans evolved for more than 99% of their history in nature, and therefore benefit most from being in spaces that incorporate the aspects of nature that helped them thrive.

We build with nature, not in spite of it.

At Tridome Structures, we believe every great space begins with the story of its material. Through Timberwise, our mill, we reclaim and mill local urban-forest wood, ensuring each project is grounded in authentic sustainability and a clear sense of origin. Our mass timber work gives honest, intentional structures to this material, shaping environments that feel warm, natural, and deeply human. Guided by a commitment to connection, we design and craft spaces that honor their roots – the landscapes the wood came from and the people and communities it is meant to serve.
