<br/><br/> Inspired by Norway’s considerable history of wood construction, and driven by a desire for sustainable housing, Treet (The Tree) by ARTEC became the first engineered-timber high-rise building to capture the world’s attention. Built by housing developers BOB and completed in Bergen, Norway in 2015, the 14-story residential structure is a hybrid combination of a glulam timber framework, balconies and staircase in CLT, and apartments in prefabricated modules stacked together on site.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
