it's great to see the use of CLT that isnt just about showing exposed wood. literally just using it as another common construction material.
stephen powell idk why brick siding was used tho it’s kinda ugly and doesn’t show off what timber construction can do. I think a better more showy siding would get more attention.
This is a great presentation for the importance of timber buildings
London needs more building like this. It is great how enthusiastic the people building this apartment are!
They’re an awesome team
What's impressive is they could make the elevator shafts out of CLT.
I love the fact that the one man is as excited to build timber sustained buildings as he is the fall of the petrol age
he's got the right attitude
Thanks for this video I was just talking to someone the other day and was telling them about this project but didn't explain the best so I will send over this video perfect timing
I like this concept!
How amazing! Just amazing. I really like this.
Great video!
Thanks!

3 Trees per Person. This is impressive.
I sat next to the chief ranger of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest at a talk given by Andrew Wambaugh a few years ago at Portland, Oregon. Every time A.W. said this takes ‘nine trees’ and held up a pill bottle with nine tree seeds in it the ranger physically cringed slightly. Trees from Austria might be of similar, consistent size. The ranger has Doug fir coming through his Forest’s timber sales from 12-18” dbh, to 48” or larger. Saying a tree equals X volume of wood was just not part of his world.
Would this b suitable in hot climates ?
Any steel frame and then timber ?
Amazing video!! Just love this channel!
You should produce a video about the Mace east village jump factory, it's an amazing building under construction that is using a very different construction method, check them out!!
Thanks! We’ll take a look!
Wolfsburg in Germany is getting two 12 floors tall timber buildings . Woodscraper is the name of this project.
hmm,??
What is the life expectancy of the building,??
If a building is well made, there is no limits. It will require maintenance, maybe some cautions. By the northern region of Europe, there are wooden Vikings constructions, wich were built over 1000 years ago. And I gotta say, they are not even on ideal scenarios. there are storms and heavy rains, but they managed to stay stoic.
Sry about my english might not be the best
Amazing. What are the cost reductions for this kind of projects compared to regular building methods?
Tjappie Konjo good question. It’s exactly what I was wondering throughout the video. I understand the weight decrease, but they speak of sustainability but if this technique becomes popular the loss in trees becomes a factor. Plus if it cost more to build and therefore cost more to buy they’re creating housing that won’t be affordable.
Who much did the building cost to build?
Brick looks good, but the one with the panels looks pretty ugly :(
But I suppose it's the building that counts
glue and wood is something wonderfull
Something about CLT is so natural. Don’t get me wrong, steen and concrete are good elements but still.
How about bamboo? It grows faster and is a lighter material
Does not grow big enough in Europe
Can we make these with Bamboo??
Can I work for you?
This and all other Timber videos would be an Excellent repost for the "Team Trees $20M by 2020" thread.

I m just anxious about the durability of the walls... you can’t easily treat the wood against bugs or something else ... i think CLT is very good for glass buildings (for office building)... you just put some plaster box for private desk so you can easily treat the celling... columns are easy. For the floor, you just put some wax... everything must be apparent for a easy check up and maintenance. To go further, you need to build with a easy way to replace every parts (column, floor,...) in 300 years (or more)... so the building value doesn’t decrease with time...
Would have made scene if you used a roof top garden
Thank you I think we can shall may vphv understand the importance and value of timber in Apartments as it is eco friendly and legally binding on the builder and Civil engineer to maintain environmental standards, hence these eco green projects i.e., 80 to 95 percent green projects ( especially foundation and first floors ) can shall may vphv be encouraged constructed and followed by everyone at any cost to build together a green healthy happy and easy life for every citizen in world as society........................thank you once again
Not for long. Cleveland set to take over next year
Lol No. We’re keeping beef.
Haha!
Would be fine by me ... if it wasn't so heavily subsidized (here in the US). That said, government subsidies of things harmful to society and the environment are a much broader problem and there's a long list of such things. America, land of the special interests...
Whats this guys beef with beef lol? Its when of the best meats, best welfare of any farm animal (grass fed), won't make you sick if undercooked and requires little to no man made chemicals or fossil fuels to produce.
Interesting, but since the timber is imported, are we really sure it is that sustainable?
If this becomes the main material used for building at what point would the increase in demand for timber over come the replenishing rate and increase deforestation.
Good question. We’ll see if any studies have been done.
Timber is a renewable resource. If demand grows, more sustainable forests can be created to fulfill the demand
renewable but has long time pace to renew itself. Then if demand is increasing exponentially, you need to cut more virgin forest and jungle then replace it with more homogeneous tree to meet the demand.
We are already running out of sand to make concrete. Sand replenishes way slower than trees. There is also a lot of potential development. Maybe in the future we can use tree species that grow faster etc. Also using timber as s building material is very good for the environment as it stores carbon away for a long time.
Surely there is a height limited for using timber though? I mean surely the load would be too much on say something like a skyscraper?
With hemp now legal I could see that taking over as a main source of pulp for paper. Combine that with the reforestation and cutting techniques that are currently in use makes this so incredibly smart for the future.
Is this better than steel and and stone tho? Really?
Why waste a tree when you can use metal?
I'm guessing no fireplaces,candles, or smoking allowed
cute girl not exactly you could build a fire place to the foundation and be made of brick or it be factory made, plus it could be gas powered. Smoking and candles would effect the building that much as he said "like light a lot with a match it's hard" think of it like your normal surban house but scaled up.
Worth watching the video - fire resistance is covered in detail.
Because people who live in log houses or even traditional, stick-frame homes never use fireplaces, burn candles, or smoke, right? -_-
Jeez, does everyone in these comments sections just go and hold open flames to their walls all the time when they get home? Really.
@@HickoryDickory86 he's probably never lived in a timber or stick frame house
Woahhhhh there buddy, I agree with everything but the beef. You ain't takin that from me.
All the tree huggers are saying, seriously?
CLT how? How is it different with Plywood. Wood grain typically runs along its tree height. How do you achieve the horizontal grain?
It's essentially just giant plywood. How they differ is that regular plywood is composed of sheets of wood plies (or veneers) stacked on top of each other at 90 degree angles and glued and pressed together. With CLT, it's actual boards and not veneers. Here's a video showing you the CLT manufacturing process: th-cam.com/video/BikISh6F1wo/w-d-xo.html
Interesting building. But are those real bricks or fake brick panels on the outside skin of the building? If they are real bricks can it be called a timber building when so much brickwork was used? Why are they even needed, is it structural? If they are fake brick panels why hide the building's timber identity and not clad it in wood?
Soundproofing must be appalling
R.I.P. my beautiful Latvian forests...
"Sustainability... renew-ability..." uhhh isn't concrete made of rocks and water?
NERPolitan I believe it’s a cheaper material.
Darren Coleman what's a cheaper material?
Rocks and water and *cement* ! Cement manufacturing releases CO2 in the atmosphere both directly when calcium carbonate is heated, producing lime and carbon dioxide, and also indirectly through the use of energy if its production involves the emission of CO2. The cement industry produces about 10% of global man-made CO2 emissions, of which 60% is from the chemical process, and 40% from burning fuel.
cutting trees will decrease CO2 absorption either. So?
Carbon stores in wood, not pollute. Also, what trees absorb, they pollute while decomposing.
And they plant new trees instead.
Illegal to download this video ..they will sue you and they appear to be very angry about them fact you might download it.
Hey guys lol Edward Snowden? 1:30
Exactly! I was thinking I couldn't be the only one who noticed
Oh I see, when they talk about renewable, they refer to renewing London, not the renewal of the rainforest.
a boat filling with water .solution,build a bigger boat
sound travels between walls very easily. you can hear your neighbours cough..
Pardon?
Searching for evidence that CLT buildings are actually more sustainable, then other standard materials. The forestry industry is misleading and massively disruptive.
Did you watch the video ? "Sustainably maintained forests"
As good as it is, the buildings themselves look insanely boring..
Wn
They didn't exactly explain why we need to make the switch from concrete to timber other than the usual green statement. As others have mentioned, they need to clearly state the benefits like cost, long term structural integrity, noise, water damage, etc. I'm not convinced based on what's been shown.
why paint it to look like a brick building?
Not a fan
I’d NEVER live in such a building. Sure it’s hard to light a log on fire with a match. However, after all the furnishings catch fire one of these apartments, the amount of and temperatures of such a fire will easily set this building ablaze. I think that an occupied building made of this material is going to burn much faster than any test they’ve ever conducted, especially when the fire’s temperature climbs well over 1000 degrees. I guess the lessons about using flammable materials failed to sink in DESPITE all those killed because another tower was clad with a highly flammable curtain wall. Additionally, although wood is renewable, it takes years and years to grow trees. They certainly don’t pop up overnight. Concrete may not be renewable, but the world’s not about to run out of ingredients required to make it. Those ingredients are right under our feet and go all the way down to the Earth’s mantel. We could bury the entire planet with several miles of concrete and STILL NOT run out of the materials required to make more. As for the building’s weight, simply don’t build over tunnels and it won’t be an issue. Put a park there instead.
There is talk of a impending sand shortage due to the extreme amounts of concrete production. With the removal of the easily acquired sand (mostly from beaches and dredged from the river mouth sources) coastal erosion is occurring more and more. Scientists are only now starting to understand how important sand deposits are for our coastlines as billions of tonnes of it get scooped up and locked into building materials.
That being said, sand mostly comes from crushed minerals and rocks pushed out to sea by rivers. As you said there seems to be no shortage of these resources under our feet however grinding rocks to make sand artificially would be expensive compared to scooping sand out of the ocean where no ones looking.
I completely agree. In my job I've had many years of experience with passive fire protection, timber fire door frames and fire doors, as well as FR plasterboard (and various other boards and coatings). No amount of PR will sell me on this idea. I would not spend a single night in a multi-storey building of this construction.
Performance of materials in a fire test is one thing. Real world fires are another matter. Every aspect of the building needs to perform, even after many years of occupation and the activities that go with that. Using laminated timber as the structural elements means the passive fire protection is critical. In practice, it will be vulnerable to compromise.
Not the right type of sand, desert sand is too fine.
Pedro pepe The and in the Sahara desert is too fine. Think of it like this. The sand found on beaches is rugged, it has little edges which allows them to lock into shapes. I mean that's how you're able to make sand castles. But the sand in deserts like the Sahara is too fine an round due to the conditions it has been through for thousands of years. In comparison the Sahara sand is like marbles and you can't really stack marbles on top of another to form anything.
Jeffrey Bohémier It would go up like a match.
What about FIRE?
They talk about the fire risks at 2:24
Thank You , i don't know how i missed that!! Thanx

And many tests have been conducted and shown that mass timber outperforms steel and concrete in fire ratings. Mass timber chars, and if there is no more oxygen in the vicinity to fuel the flame, it will die. And a significant amount of the timber could burn before it loses its structural integrity. Steel, when it gets too hot, may not always melt but it will eventually begin to warp and lose all structural integrity rather quickly. And concrete explodes when it gets too hot. So it not only loses structural its integrity, it also send shrapnel flying on its way down.
And that's not taking into account that the mass timber is usually treated to some degree to resist fire, covered in fire-rated plasterboard, and commercial and large-scale residential buildings are equipped with sprinkler systems to douse the flames should they arise.
Honestly, this is poor architecture. Efficient, but boring. It's because of too many buildings similar to this one, that I moved out of the city I grew up in. It's just depressing to look at...
The timber from poor countries of course.
Austria.
Isn't that "eco-un-friendly"?
Sustainable forest is a euphemism for deforestation. But sure these guys really do care about the planets. 😑 Btw If timber was all that reliable as you can, why don't you use it to construct the foundation of the building as well? This is just another "antivaxxer movement"
As a businessman, I highly respects these guys. They're about to make millions by pretending they care about our problems.
TERMITES. ...NOUGH SAID.
And what is the point of CLT buildings? They cost more then concrete ones. They burn WAY more then concrete ones (yes, tests showed they burn very slowly...but they do burn. And worse, they start to lose their strength. Concrete does not burn). And forget about sprinklers. Sprinklers do NOT always work. And noise passes through them much easier.
And what is green about them? Concrete is what? Water, concrete and aggregate...hardly items that are really rare.
This looks like green nonsense to me.
I would FAR rather live in a concrete high rise then a CLT one (even if they cost the same).
