25 King office building

Australia's tallest timber office building sets new standards in timber office construction and sustainability.
The high-rise building was constructed using the WIEHAG glulam kit, prefabricated block-bonded GLT beams and support columns. 1,367 cubic metres of glued laminated timber split into 1,240 individual parts were processed for this in Altheim and then shipped to Brisbane.
