Welcome
Greetings from your WoodWorks team. Who doesn’t like civic buildings especially when they also serve as Grand Prix venues. Woods Bagot aim to set a new benchmark in hybrid civic and sporting infrastructure, and what’s more — mass timber is at the heart of their thinking!
The EVE Music Hall in Croatia looks to be an icon in the making – can’t wait to see the finished photos inside this magnificent space!
Bürogebäude Wood in Grenoble, Switzerland — A six-storey timber office building with branched columns, seismic reinforcement, fire-protected connections, and capacity for loads up to 100 tonnes.
This aircraft hanger uses a timber frame combining wide spans, digital planning, prefabrication, and circular design. The fact that the hangar was awarded the 2024 German Structural Engineering comes as little surprise.
