Mjstrnet by Voll Arkitekter in Brumunddal, Norway, has been assigned as the world’s tallest timber building by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The 85.4-meter-high tower was built using cross-laminated timber (CLT), a material that allows architects to build tall buildings from sustainable wood.
It has taken the title of world’s tallest timber building from the 53-meter-high Brock Commons Tallwood House in Vancouver, which has a hybrid wood and concrete structure. Treet in Bergen, Norway, which is 49 meters high, used to be the tallest all timber building until Mjstrnet completed in March 2019.
