"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"

The curved and meandering building emulates a riverlet where indigenous people would catch eels in nets. The portal frame construction allowed a non-uniform structure that guides patrons through the information centre in a similar meandering way.
The portal frames, with tapered columns, were constructed from 100% plantation grown radiata pine LVL. Large spans and natural timber tones enhance the form and function of the cultural centre.
