The center of the New Zealands Bay of Plenty is “completely” with more than 1,000 council staff in a new 8-story mass-wood-das largest in the country of downtown Tauranga this week. The building developed by Willis Bond through its LT McGuinness Charmea's uses more than 2,000 cubic meters with devastable wood, glulam and laminated veneer wood (all locally delivered)-and thus about 2,000 tons lighter than a conventional building with steel fire.
According to David McGuinness, the managing director of Wills Bond, the Timber Hybrid building, which also uses steel amplifiers for seismic and wind protection, is a perfect model for Wellington and Christchurch, which both have a high risk of earthquake activity.
“There is a reason why all of these villas in Wellington were built made of wood,” he told the NZ post today and added that mass wood means that buildings could reach design heights in both cities that were unimaginable 10 years ago.
For Wayne Silver, Managing Director of Funds and Finance from Willis Bond, the new tower proves that with careful planning wooden buildings can be both inexpensive and sustainable: “It is important that Tauranga, one of the fastest growing cities in New Zealand, has led the country in the support of this design approach.” To consider mass wood as a clever choice for extraordinary jobs. “

According to Mark McGuinness, the Executive Chair of Wills Bond, the building is “basically a hybrid structure, whereby the mass wood is used to reduce CO2 footprint of the building by 50% compared to a normal steel building”, which was made from 135 mass wood piles – mass wood – –Delivery by red deer– Measure a size of up to 25 meters. It is also clean with all parts that are prefabricated outside the location, said McGuiness and unveiled that the building location “is much quieter, cleaner and much more civilized than a normal location on which you (usually) have a lot of noise and a lot of crash.”
