Project "Daramu House Sydney"

Daramu House is located right next to International House Sydney, Australia's first commercial multi-storey timber office building. "Daramu" means "tree" in the language of the Aborigines. The six-storey office building consists of 10,000 m² of commercial space.

The prefabricated glulam was delivered to Australia in containers by sea freight. The structural and special design of the glulam is based on the development of the composite beams used for the first time in the sister building International House Sydney. With these composite beams (glued laminated timber composite beams in combination with BauBuche), large and numerous openings can be realized without reducing the load bearing capacity of the beam or increasing the cross section size of the beam. This is achieved without any requirement for strengthening with additional steel parts.
