2024 WOOD IN ARCHITECTURE AWARDS: Google Borregas in Sunnyvale, CA, creates a high-performance, low-carbon impact building that prioritizes the health of both people and the planet. THE PROJECT TEAM: Architect: MGA | Michael Green Architecture (Project Designer); SERA Architects (Architect of Record) Structural Engineer: EQUILIBRIUM General Contractor: XL Construction Owner: Google Photos: Ema Peter Photography In their quest to realize a carbon free future by 2030, Google used mass timber to construct this beautiful office building in Silicon Valley. The goal with Google Borregas, their first ground-up mass timber development, was to create a scalable building solution that puts health and sustainability first, reducing carbon emissions and creating a warm, welcoming, and healthy workspace. The mass timber structure, which uses glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams and columns and cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, is left exposed throughout the interior.

Last night Google won a WoodWorks Wood in Architecture Award at the National The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference in Washington, DC! Principal Natalie Telewiak was there to accept the award, alongside Suzanne Blair from SERA Architects and David Beck from XL Construction . Congratulations to everyone on the team for this project, the other winners, and thank you to the judges 🙏 https://lnkd.in/etRgkAXy Photo: Ema Peter

Construction Site Report: Baker’s Place 🏗 Baker’s Place is a landmark in sustainable living for Madison. This project marks the city's first mass timber high-rise, featuring 13512 m² / 145,000 ft2 of KLH® – CLT. Baker’s Place is a mixed-use development pioneering sustainable construction. The project employs a hybrid structural approach that combines concrete, steel, glue-laminated beams, and a CLT floor system, all using sustainably sourced materials to minimize its carbon footprint. This 14-story building will include 206 luxury apartments (studios, one to three-bedroom units, and townhomes). Units boast exposed mass timber, designer fixtures, and advanced technology. Amenities include a cafe, co-working space, community garden, gym, spa room, art and crafts rooms, lounge, skydeck, and electric vehicle rentals. Completion is expected by March 2025. We wish the project great success. KLH USA | C.D.
