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.

25 King – Australia's tallest office building

Superlative timber engineering

Australia’s tallest timber office tower

With a height of 45 metres, the “25 King” in Brisbane is the largest timber office building in Australia. The inviting offices are spread over 9 storeys. On the ground floor, cafés and restaurants tempt you to linger. The new building was completed in autumn 2019 and is considered a role model in the field of timber engineering. It is a modular building based on a grid of GLT columns and beams.

A prime example of sustainable construction

“25 King is the latest example of high-performance workplaces setting new benchmarks in environmentally sustainable building practices.”

— John Burton, Lendlease’s Managing Director, Urban Regeneration

High-rise timber construction

Benefits with CLT & GLT

High stability

Building with wood and glue: The timber engineering construction with CLT and GLT is in no way inferior to construction with steel and concrete.

Low CO2 emissions

The production of GLT and CLT generates significantly less carbon dioxide than other building materials.

Healthy working atmosphere

Wood as a building material is not only more environmentally friendly, but also ensures a pleasant, healthy working atmosphere in the high-rise office building.
