KIRK Timber Tower Shortlisted - National Architecture Awards 2022 - Commercial Design

Timber Tower has been shortlisted for the prestigious Australian Institute of Architects National Awards 2022.

The Timber Tower is the first Australian multi-storey commercial building with a full MET (Mass Engineered Timber) Structure; wholly grown and sourced softwood from local Australian Softwood.

This project presents an alternative model for constricted program delivery, and as a whole offers a strong presence and unique structure that is nestled within a highly restricted and complex environment.

The Timber Tower maximises its 306-degree views across Brisbane Airport. This project presents an alternative model for constricted program delivery, and as a whole offers a strong presence and unique structure that is nestled within a highly restricted and complex environment.

Timber sequesters carbon for the life of the structure. Should the structure need to be removed, it can be completely disassembled and reassembled - including the cladding and glazing systems which are dry joined systems.
