Heaven 17 : timber/concrete tower construction sequence
The timber/concrete tower is 124m high plus three basement levels, and provides 103 apartments. Concrete is used for the below ground structures, and for the building’s central core, which provides lateral stability. The core supports concrete slabs and external steel bracing. Mass timber columns and floor slabs are then constructed around the core, with mass timber infills between concrete transfer slabs. External corners are hung from the steel bracing.
