Architects Waugh Thistleton have revealed plans for a timber-framed office block in London’s Shoreditch.

The new nine-storey structure, covering 8,000 sq. m, is proposed to replace the existing Development House at Leonard Circus and when completed will be one of London’s tallest modern timber-framed buildings.

The aim of the all-timber building is to offer flexible tenancy and so could be occupied by either one or several companies.

The project highlights timber’s continuing resurgence as a building material, with Waugh Thistleton director Andrew Waugh saying that “this is the beginning of the timber age”.

The building will utilise two types of engineered wood – glued laminated timber, or glulam as it is commonly known, which is made by layering and gluing multiple slices of wood together; and cross-laminated timber which involves arranging the layers at right angles. Both have the advantage of being significantly stronger than regular timber.

There will be a large ground level foyer as well as a series of vertical slices with sections of glazing around the perimeter offering light and ventilation.

Andrew Waugh said, “building in timber offers a number of advantages, including minimised time on site, and associated sound and waste disturbance. This translates to less impact on adjacent occupiers, street users and surrounding community.”

"This is a really exciting scheme that can transform one of the key development sites in Shoreditch by creating a truly iconic building," said Conrad Peberdy, director for property developer Ethical Property.

Other new London buildings to exploit timber include a 33-metre-high apartment block, also in Shoreditch, and a house for artist Richard Woods.
