The jury, consisting of leading experts in the wood industry, justified its decision as follows:
"International House Sydney is Australia’s first commercial office and largest commercial-scale engineered timber building that uses Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glue Laminated Timber (Glulam). The striking look of the high-rise building, designed by Tzannes Architects and engineered by DesignMake Lendlease, demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of urban and commercial architecture. The outstanding partnership team combining developer, design and delivery professionals, made possible in the creation of International House - Sydney to beautifully re-interpret the history of the site for the future of Sydney."
We are very proud to have participated in this unique project for which Hess TIMBER has produced and delivered the glulam construction.
