This project was submitted to the 2022 ASCA: Timber in the City Competition.

The glue-laminated timber waffle slabs on each floor are affected by the columns on the floor above. Wherever the column lands, the waffle structure below it deepens, allowing the structure to transfer the loads to the columns on that floor. This allows the building to twist, without having a continuous series of columns throughout each floor of the building.
