HeartWood the beach Mass timber
Quadrangle Architects has teamed up with Fieldgate Homes to produce Toronto's first Mass Timber six story building. The project will host 37 high end residential suites. Titled, HeartWood The Beach, the development is currently in pre-construction and located at 1884 Queens Street, Toronto, near the waterfront. Mass Timber with use as CLT and Glulam was chosen for the primary structural system being cited as more environmentally friendly than concrete or steel and just as strong. The goal behind the structure is to expose the wood where practical and create a dialogue between modern urban society and the natural world beyond, integrating them as part of a holistic linage. 

You can learn more about the project on the developer's website HERE.
