Here in New York City, we are also starting to see the fruits of forward-thinking developers and architects. 475 West 18th Street, a ten-story, high-end condominium building with a wood structure won a competition sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). An incredible example of the potential for wood clt details this project left timber columns and beams exposed where possible. It was a deliberate aesthetic move that will showcase the building’s timber construction as a selling feature. The project, designed by Shop Architects, is a testing ground for the architects in order to use CLT on other projects.
Both Forte and 475 West 18th Street are excellent examples of the capabilities of CLT and mass timber products. However, they may only represent humble beginnings to a larger, taller trend. In Vancouver, an 18-story dormitory at the University of British Columbia recently topped out and a 24-story mixed-used hotel cross laminated timber companies and apartment project is being developed in Vienna, Austria. In addition, research completed by SOM in 2013 and 2014 found that a 42-story wood high-rise is feasible with current technologies.
