OPAL Architecture

OPAL was founded in 2008, as the architecture half of a groundbreaking design/build company and launched as an independent architecture firm in 2019. Based in Belfast, on the coast of Maine, we maintain an unwavering focus on design excellence while continually striving to achieve the highest standards of building performance and occupant comfort and well-being.

Wood Fiber Insulation

TimberHP by GO Lab, a privately-held, building products company, was founded in 2017 with one purpose—to manufacture high-performance, wood fiber insulation for the first time in North America. Our boards, batts and loose fill, building on wood fiber’s two-decade legacy of proven market success in Europe, offer best-in-class insulation solutions—safe, cost competitive, sustainable. TimberHP is a value-added, innovative product line for Maine’s new forest economy.

OPAL Shelter is a collection of predesigned modules utilizing OPAL Build’s prefab CLT panelization technology. Shelter redefines the home-design experience by starting not with a blank sheet of paper, but with a collection of elegant, pre-designed modular spaces, including bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and flexible multi-use rooms. Choose a single module as the basis for a freestanding office, guest quarters, vacation cabin, or exercise studio. Or, combine multiple modules—by clustering, or linking them with decks or connectors—to design a home or compound uniquely suited to your site, taste, and practical needs. Shelter engages you in creating a uniquely beautiful, high-performance home—with a fine-tuned, collaborative process that’s as rewarding as the end result.
