Mass Timber Construction Journal’s Post

New York-based investor Tony Cheng is set to build Australia’s tallest timber tower, a 13-storey boutique office at 4-6 York Street in Sydney’s CBD. Designed by architecture firm Tzannes for Cheng’s NGI Investments, the building will feature 11 storeys of mass timber construction, with a hybrid timber-steel design for the top two floors to support large cantilevers over railway tunnels. Tzannes co-director Alec Tzannes explained, “It’s fully massed timber above the steel cantilevers required to span over the railway tunnels,” noting that the design incorporates timber for everything from floors to fire escapes. https://lnkd.in/g_h4JFS9
