The new UK HQ of global biopharmaceutical company UCB in Windlesham comprises a 2,870 m² collaboration centre.

Designed by internationally renowned architects Heatherwick Studio, it is characterised by the pioneering use of curved cross-laminated timber (CLT) to support the biophilic design - a first of its kind in this scale and complexity.

The project was shortlisted in four categories: "Project of the Year", "Architect of the Year", "Installer of the Year" and "Commercial Project of the Year".

Overview

Bunjil Place

INSPIRED BY TRADITION

The architectural inspiration for the structurally free-formed foyer was the spiritual traditions of two Aboriginal tribes. This prestige project of a distinctive glulam construction has already won several national and international awards.

Museum Fondation Louis Vuitton

Timber architecture in highest perfection

The museum of the Fondation Louis Vuitton was opened in October 2014. The famous architect Frank Gehry designed the building, that essentially consists of 12 “canvas” made of glass, steal and timber. HESS TIMBER delivered the timber construction for this unique building.

International House Sydney

multi-storey timber buildings

In 2016, the country's first commercial wooden multistorey office building was built in Sydney in the district of Barangaroo South. This project marks not only a milestone in the history of HESS TIMBER but also in the Australian construction industry. The foundation for a trend-setting and novel way of building in the urban context was created.
