The Go2WOOD delegation, in preparation for the Danish INNO-Spire wood highrise project, paid a visit to the world’s largest (by volume) CLT- cross laminated timber structured building called Dalston Lane. This new housing development, designed by London’s Waugh Thistleton Architects and constructed by B & K Structures, is a ground breaking example of maximising the carbon benefits of sequestration (2400 tonnes carbon from 3000m3 wood ) Sustainable timber sourcing coupled with a growing global demand for housing makes a convincing development model for the future.
