Bürogebäude Wood in Grenoble — The six-storey timber structure uses columns and beams spaced 4–6 m apart, supported on shallow concrete footings with tie-rods for seismic resistance; the eastern section features branched columns spanning five storeys. Joists, bracing and stiffened connection fittings provide load transfer and fire protection, with detailed nodes designed for ultimate loads of up to 100 tonnes.
Check out the link for a detailed rundown with impressive photos.
