The World’s Tallest Wood Buildings 2+1

       Wood buildings can be a beautiful, sustainable alternative to their concrete and steel counterparts. But how tall can timber structures actually get? Timber structures are considered tall if they have six or more floors or rise above 18 meters in height. Modern tall wooden buildings utilize advanced materials such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glued-laminated timber (glulam) for critical structural components, including fire-resistant walls. According to the latest International Building Code, timber buildings can now reach up to 18 stories high.
