Mass timber office building designed to be Tasmania’s greenest – Terroir has designed a mass timber office building in Launceston that is aiming to become “the most sustainable and carbon positive office development in Tasmania.”
The building will house the Launceston headquarters of health insurer St. Lukes Health. To be located on the CBD fringe, the building will rise from the remnants of an existing building, with the external walls, concrete floor and timber trusses retained. The building will have a life cycle plan applied so that when it is no long needed, it can be demolished and the timber structure reengineered and reused.
