"Australian Architects can design structures with the form and feel of timber, now with the spanning capabilities needed in the commercial and civic space"
"100% renewable, sustainable plantation-grown timber – achieving large spans with natural beauty"
"Timber provides impressive spans with a lighter footprint than steel or concrete – and has the added benefit of sequestering carbon in the structure"
"Curved timber structures over broad spans are now a reality – with Timberbuilt Solution’s curved plywood box beams"
"Timberbuilt Solutions’ BIM (Building Information Modelling) enables us to take your 3D model so we can model the structural timber components – saving time and money while achieving your architectural vision"
"From small commercial structures (400 m2) to large (25,000 m2), Timberbuilt Solutions can provide design, engineering and prefabrication solutions for a precise installation with low on-site costs"

Location:South Hedland, WA
Designer:Advanced Timber Design Research Centre
Builder:Timberbuilt Solutions
This unique structure for South Hedland Townsquare in Western Australia is the latest challenge for our design and fabrication team. As part of the town square’s revitalisation project, 8 individual curved members with smaller blocking members will form this shade structure’s “grid-shell”.
The structure provides a shade canopy over a performance stage/area, and will act as a focal point in the square.
The curved members converge at each end of the structure creating a significant canopy with a minimal footprint. The use of timbers gives the environmental benefit of carbon storage in a structure that will also have architectural beauty in the community space.
This project is still in design phase – but watch this space, more images to come as we progress!
