About this episode
Recently, the popularity has been increasing around mid-rise timber buildings. Having fully exposed structures has made a lot of sense at a certain height. However, we can only unlock the use of timber in high-rise buildings if it is combined with steel and concrete, with consideration of fire, acoustics and structural performance. In this episode we're speaking with Nick Hewson, Product Development Manager at Viridi about:
- How light-frame can be utilized for mid-rise buildings
- What systems are most suitable for apartment and office buildings
- How we can combine materials to unlock new heights for timber
