The original building was replaced by a new timber construction. Building with wood significantly reduced the carbon footprint of the building.
Consistent with the sustainable vision of the design, LDCwood® ThermoWood® pine was chosen for the permanent sunshading. Sourced from sustainable managed forest, the Pine is FSC® certified.
The small knots of the pine add a playful and contemporary feel to the facade, which is expected to age to a natural grey over time.
Fire retardant ThermoWood® pine
Lemahieu Fire Protection® has been selected to provide the fire retardant treatment. This treatment treats LDCwood® ThermoWood® with Burnblock®, a 100% natural fire retardant, achieving the required reaction to fire class. No post-treatment or maintenance is required to maintain the reaction to fire class.
