Mass Timber Construction Journal’s Post

New world's tallest timber skyscraper planned for the USA. The timber tower will consist of 55 floors, making it the tallest mass timber skyscraper in the world. This remarkably ambitious proposal in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, looks set to take timber to new heights. Designed by MGA | Michael Green Architecture, a leader in modern timber construction, this project will become the world's tallest timber skyscraper once complete. While the exact height of the skyscraper is yet to be confirmed, it is expected to surpass the current tallest all-timber building, the 85.4 meters (280 ft) Mjøstårnet in Norway. Given the height, it's likely that some concrete reinforcement will be incorporated for stability. Many people get concerned at the thought of a wooden skyscraper, imagining it will be some sort of tinderbox that will ignite with a misplaced cigarette or kitchen fire. However, modern mass timber (such as glulam and cross-laminated timber) isn't like traditional lumber. Instead, it's manufactured in factories and consists of many layers of wood glued together to form a much stronger wooden beam that can even perform better in fire than steel due to the way it chars rather than fully igniting.

FAQ: What is mass timber construction and how is it different from traditional wood framing? Curious about mass timber construction? It's revolutionizing the building industry! Unlike traditional framing, mass timber uses large, prefabricated wood panels for walls, floors, and roofs. The result? Faster construction, lower carbon footprint, and stunning aesthetics. #MassTimber #SustainableConstruction

Modular homes offer several advantages over traditional on-site construction. 💯 Because modular homes are built indoors, they can be completed in a matter of a few weeks, as opposed to months. They don’t see the typical on-site delays caused predominantly by the weather. Modular homes must adhere to strict building codes, often exceeding the standards of site-built homes. When considering a modular home, it's crucial to research different companies, as quality, price, and service can vary significantly. Modular homes are permanent structures that appraise and appreciate like site-built homes. They can be customized and designed for energy efficiency, accessibility, and future adaptability. Financing, insurance, and taxes for modular homes are similar to traditional homes.🔥 #modular #modularhome #explorebc #bcbusiness #kelownabusiness #bchousing #srihomesbc #interiordesign #modernhome #customdesign #vancouverbusiness #builder #homebuilder #architecture #kelownainteriordesign #vancouverinteriordesign #buildexvancouver #businessbc #prefabricatedhouse #manufacturedhomes #manufacturedhome #construction #constructionlife #homedesign #homedecor

EIFS is ideal as it can be applied to both new and existing buildings. In fact, many older buildings are rejuvenated and given a facelift using Terraco EIFS, because these systems are applied to the exterior of a building, not the interior. Importantly internal living space is not sacrificed – and critically there is no need for occupants to vacate the building while installing the Terraco EIFS, which makes EIFS perfect for renovation work.

In some of the new subdivision areas the margins can often be tighter, we have seen a real emergence of the single storey duplexes the last few years where the lot size is suitable. This enables a more cost effective construction cost and can be the difference between the numbers stacking and not stacking.

After designing more than two-dozen mass timber projects worldwide, many in partnership with DLR Group, Hines delivers its verdict: “The bottom line? It's worth it.” “We have seen firsthand the viscerally positive reactions of people entering a mass timber building. The woodsy smell is usually the first thing to elicit a response, prompting many satisfied, deep breaths. Then comes an awareness of the appealing design elements. Timber projects featuring light-filled spaces, exposed details, hues, and tones that exude warmth, comfortable feelings, and a high level of craftsmanship. Design standards and quality have emerged as pivotal factors in mass timber projects' success. These are spaces where people want to be. By pairing great architecture with something that benefits the planet, we believe mass timber construction marries the two extraordinarily well and has led us to be a leader in the space.”
