A Closer Look at Timber Square

Timber Square prioritises reuse, the use of hybrid structures and timber at a scale rarely seen before. In this video, you will discover more about the collaboration and shared vision between Bennetts Associates and Landsec.

The ground-breaking brief included specific upfront science based targets and circularity principles. This enabled a bold collaboration between developer and architect from the outset, leading to the hybrid timber approach that defines the development. In working with existing buildings, reuse was the priority, retaining elements and celebrating the revealed structure.

Guided by our ‘More With Less’ approach, Timber Square combines reuse and innovation to use timber as a material intelligently to dramatically reduce carbon. Just as importantly, it demonstrates that timber is not simply an alternative when building at scale, it’s a more human way to build as natural materials add warmth transforming the experience of a building.
