Standing at fifty meters, the Wood Up tower is one of Europe’s pioneering vertical timber-frame buildings. The project includes three main components: a commercial base, 132 residential units, and communal areas, all connected by an outdoor walkway. Designed with a low-carbon approach (BBCA label), the building overcomes technical challenges of timber construction through a spatial and typological exploration that balances urban context, functional requirements, and architectural design.
