KUB CLT Villa is a built residential project in Stockholm, Sweden, completed in 2012. Designed by UFO Architecture under the direction of Daniel Fagerberg, the project explores the architectural potential of cross-laminated timber as a primary structural and spatial system for contemporary housing.
The villa is organised as a compact cubic volume, demonstrating how simple geometric principles can be combined with advanced timber construction technologies to create efficient, adaptable and environmentally responsible living environments. The clarity of the form allows the architectural expression to emerge directly from the material and construction logic of the building.
Constructed from prefabricated CLT elements, the project benefits from the precision, speed of assembly and environmental advantages associated with engineered timber construction. The use of timber reduces embodied carbon while creating warm interior spaces characterised by natural materiality and a close relationship between structure and architecture.
KUB CLT Villa represents an early realised example of UFO Architecture's long-term research into engineered timber construction. The project demonstrates how prefabricated bio-based building systems can combine architectural quality, construction efficiency and environmental performance within a compact residential typology.
