World’s Tallest Hybrid Timber Tower to be Built in Sydney, Australia

The world's highest timber building, a 182-meter sustainable skyscraper made of wood and other materials, will be constructed in Sydney, Australia, by Obayashi, a Japanese general contractor, to house Atlassian's Sydney offices. The building and operation of Atlassian Central received approval under the stringent terms of State Significant Development Application #10405.

Dexus and Built Obayashi Joint Venture are getting ready for the start of construction. Obayashi plans to use renewable energy to build the 39-story Atlassian Central.

 

Project Details

Project Name – Atlassian Central

Project Owner – RailCorp, TOGA Group, YHA Australia

Project Occupant – Atlassian, Canva, ROKT, Safety Culture, Afterpay

Project Manager – Avenor

Architect (Design) – BVN, SHoP Architects​

Structural (Design) – Eckersley O’Callaghan, Taylor Thomson Whitting

MEP (Design) – LCI Australia Pty Ltd.

Planning (Consultant) – Urbis Pty Ltd

Landscape (Consultant) – Aspect Studios

Environmental (Consultant) – Transsolar Energietechnik GmbH

Fire (Consultant) – Norman Disney & Young

Acoustics (Consultant) – Stantec Ltd.

World’s Tallest Timber Tower – Powered by Renewable Energy

The world's highest timber tower is being built in Sydney as a cooperative venture between Australian and Japanese construction companies.

The 39-story Atlassian Central skyscraper will be situated next to the Central rail station in Sydney's Tech Central innovation and technology zone. The mixed-use building, with a floor area of 75,000 square metres, will also accommodate a hotel and retail establishments.

The companies aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions during construction by at least 50% compared to a conventional building project. They also want to use only renewable energy to power the skyscraper.

On the seventh level and upwards, one will find a hybrid timber structure with steel frames and cross-laminated wood, or a wood panel product made from glued layers of sawn lumber.

The product can be recycled, is lighter, and produces less CO2 during production than concrete, claims the Japanese construction giant. It can also be used for many things.

The basement and the floors below the seventh story will be composed of reinforced concrete, according to the two builders.

Obayashi's joint venture with local building business Built is being worked on by Australian real estate firm Dexus, and the tower is anticipated to be completed in 2026.

By creating and promoting the use of recyclable resources like lumber and wooden materials, Obayashi said that his company strives to create a sustainable society and that doing so will help with concerns like achieving carbon neutrality and other social issues.

Viewing platforms tops New Grand Avenue Park Bridge by LMN Architects

LMN Architects has built a viewpoint on top of the concrete and weathering steel New Grand Avenue Park Bridge in Everett, Washington.

The asymmetrical bridge spans a railway and a road, projecting from a hillside at one end and meeting a concrete tower at the other.

The bridge connects the park and the waterfront

Seattle-based LMN Architects designed the 257-foot-long (78 metre) bridge to doubles as a viewing platform that frames views of the sunset over the waterfront.

Visitors can now cross between the historic Grand Avenue Park and the sea, easily traversing an 80-foot (24 metre) drop, freight rail tracks and a five-lane highway.

New Grand Avenue Park Bridge spans a road and railway

The truss form of the bridge is designed to echo traditional railway architecture across the Pacific Northwest.

Made from weathering steel, the beams will naturally rust over time to form a protective layer and make the bridge easier to maintain.

Weathering steel beams evoke railway architecture of the Pacific Northwest

A guardrail made from 400 perforated steel panels contrasts with the weathering steel. Designed to act as a wayfinding tool for pedestrians, the steel screen is covered in intricate geometric patterns that throw patterns of light and shade onto the walkways.

The architects used a computer script to generate the pattern and automate the layout of the panels for cutting with the fabricator's CNC machine, after testing the process in-house.

"LMN's experimentation with our own CNC machine to fabricate full-scale mockups was essential for refining the scale of the pattern, adjusting the amount of area for the light reflection, and testing the digital cut files," said LMN principal Scott Crawford

"This close collaboration allowed for a solution that is finely tuned to its context."

Geometric patterns are cut into the steel guardrail

The pattern extends to the tower, where it has been blasted into the concrete walls. A staircase wraps around the tower, and an elevator leads down to ground level.

With the ramping accessway at the other end, New Grand Avenue Park Bridge is designed to be accessible by people with more limited mobility.

The same pattern has been blasted into the surface of the concrete tower

"As designers, we found these circumstances the perfect opportunity to create a place where the accessible features would define the experience," said LMN partner Stephen Van Dyck.

"In its design, the Grand Avenue Park Bridge is also a destination. The bridge's paths, stairs and spaces create a variety of views beyond and within that make it a place of discovery."

The bridge is also a viewpoint that frames the sunset

Based in Washington, LMN is led by Julie Adams, John Chau, Sam Miller, Walt Niehoff, Osama Quotah, Mark Reddington, George Shaw, Pamela Trevithick, Stephen Van Dyck, and Rafael Viñoly-Menendez.

Recent projects from the firm include a performing arts centre for the University of Iowa and an extension for an art museum in Seattle.

Pullman's Renaissance

In the coming weeks, construction crews will begin meticulously restoring the roof and upper floor windows of the landmark Pullman Clock Tower and Administration Building, the former headquarters of the company that developed the neighborhood and forever changed rail travel in the 19th century.

Nearly lost in an arson attack in 1998, the structure is being overhauled for its next life as the visitor center for the Pullman National Monument, Chicago’s first ever site in the national park system. The roof work, funded by a $2.2 million grant from the National Park Service, is expected to take six months.

Construction on the old administrative building comes more than three years after President Obama dedicated the site as a national monument, setting into motion a restoration that Pullman residents and preservationists have long called for. According to Kathleen Schneider, the first superintendent of Pullman National Monument, there are a mix of public and private funds earmarked for the restoration, including more than $13 million from the National Park Foundation.

“We’re only three years old with a staff of three people,” Schneider says of the new national monument. “Although it may appear that not a lot is happening, we’ve been working hard with the State of Illinois and community on the 2020 opening of the visitors center.”

Schneider says the site’s educational programming will center on Pullman’s legacy as a planned neighborhood and as an integral site in the labor and civil rights movements. Specifically, the visitor center will spotlight the internal clashes that led to the Pullman Strike of 1894 and formation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

As for community partners, Schneider highlights the Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives (CNI) group, a nonprofit developer that has helped bring investment to the greater Pullman area in recent years. While the Clock Tower’s restoration represents a symbolic rebirth of the historic district, newer facilities including a Whole Foods distribution center, an expanded greenhouse by produce supplier Gotham Greens, and soap maker Method have reinvigorated the neighborhood’s identity as an industrial hub.

And there’s still more on the way, according to CNI President David Doig.

“It’s taken decades for these neighborhoods to decline and it’ll take decades for them renew,” Doig says of the broader trend of deindustrialization throughout the South Side. “But when we think about community development, we think about principles of being holistic by building on existing assets and thinking about the longer term perspective.”

The recipe for Pullman’s rebirth includes public transit connectivity, easy access to heavy rail and the port, and an inventory of available land. Doig says this combination makes Pullman particularly desirable for logistics, transportation, and manufacturing businesses. The recent wave of industrial development in the area has had a trickle-down effect, Doig adds, contributing to a need for more retail and restaurants as Pullman attracts new workers.

Other new developments include the forthcoming Pullman Community Center, a 135,000-square-foot facility with space for indoor athletics and community programming. There’s also the One Eleven Food Hall slated for the 111th Street Gateway Retail Center, and a 150,000-square-foot greenhouse set for Gotham Greens, currently located on the roof of the Method soap factory.

Additionally, a new 38-unit artist housing development is underway in the historic district. Dubbed the Pullman Artspace Lofts, the development will fill a vacant parcel between two existing structures on Langley Avenue. It will also include 2,000 square feet of community and gallery space. Doig adds that CNI hopes to solidify plans to bring a hotel to Pullman in the coming months.

Since 2010, more than $250 million has been invested in new developments in Pullman, says Doig. He also says 1,700 jobs have come to the area. And with the continued momentum surrounding the National Monument site, Pullman may be poised for even more development as investor interest increases.

“The national monument has been significant in providing investor confidence in the area, and has certainly brought more attention, more visitors, and more interest to Pullman,” says Doig.

Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) says that Pullman is experiencing a full-scale renaissance — and setting the stage for other South Side communities to follow. While the flood of development has been a long time in the making, Alderman Beale would like to see Chicago’s next mayor meet with the City Council to produce a comprehensive plan for development across the rest of the South and West Sides.

“Downtown is going to take care of itself — we need to concentrate on the neighborhoods,” he says. "When you give people jobs and back it up with a good education, crime is going to drop, because at the end of the day, all we want is a better quality of life.”

Beale pegs the total post-recession investment in Pullman closer to $300 million.

But the Pullman National Monument means more than a reinvestment in the community: It’s a piece of history that deserves to live on for future generations to enjoy, NPS Superintendent Schneider believes.

“The public owns that site and needs access to it,” she says. “It’s a promise that has been a long time coming and we need to work harder to spread the message to the larger Chicago community and to the nation of how important this place is.”
