Because the perimeter walls are solid wood panels, Jesse couldn’t run any plumbing pipes or electrical wires through them. Instead, he built a stick-framed structure in the core of the house to run all the mechanicals through. This wraps around the central staircase and is covered in plywood stained to match the cross-laminated timber panels. The light switches, plumbing, heating and other systems are stacked in this structure.
