Mass timber is also gaining steam towards the Great Lakes in the state of Wisconsin; the tallest timber tower in the world is currently under construction in Milwaukee and industry doyen Michael Green Architecture recently presented plans for a 14-story timber tower in Madison.
The project, dubbed Baker’s Place, is backed by developer The Neutral Project, a real estate company that is attempting to establish a more sustainable model for the industry and is located in the Tenny-Lapham neighborhood.
In a bid to further boost Baker’s Places’ sustainability credentials, the design also proposes a rooftop solar panel array to offset the development’s energy demands and a system of green roofs to support a more comprehensive stormwater management system.
