PLP Labs, along with researchers from the University of Cambridge and Smith and Wallwork Engineers, have been developing strategies and proposals for the use of timber in high-rise construction.

Throughout this research, the team have developed several proposals. ‘Oakwood Tower’ is a proposal for a 300m tall timber tower in London’s Barbican Centre. The team’s second proposal ‘The Lodge’ is a 31-storey tower envisioned in The Netherlands, which as well as looking at structural possibilities – also investigated how timber in a residential high-rise setting can improve health and wellbeing of residents.
