Timber Tower

“Timber is the new concrete”
In an attempt to explore the boundaries of timber, the studio worked on a 8 story tower located in the heart of the Art’s District.
My strategy comes from creating a space to breathe on the outside- through terrace spaces. The terrace spaces are created through shifting and pulling the 2 story volumes.
