Mass Timber Buildings Now Reach Eight Stories High
Mass timber redefines urban skylines through eight-story wooden structures that combine exceptional strength, environmental sustainability, and inviting aesthetics.

As urban areas adopt this renewable resource, architecture evolves toward greater efficiency, humanity, and ecological responsibility.
