Pdf Summary

The document provides an overview of multi-story wood frame structures, particularly in the context of mid-rise construction and urban infill development, with a focus on multi-family projects. Two specific projects mentioned are Marselle in Seattle, WA, and the Wood Innovation Design Center in Prince George, British Columbia. Marselle is a condominium complex with 5 and a half stories of wood over 2 stories of concrete, standing at 85 feet tall. The Wood Innovation Design Center is an 8-level building reaching 97 feet tall, with construction completed in 2014, showcasing innovative wood design. Both projects share the use of wood as a primary structural material, are built to a height of 8-10 stories, and highlight the possibilities of wood construction in urban settings. For more information and tools related to height and area calculations for wood structures, the document provides links to websites such as www.awc.org and www.woodworks.org. The projects demonstrate the potential for using wood in taller buildings and highlight the advancements in wood construction technology.
