"Comprising mass timber and a facade of glass and steel, the building
will feature a staggered outdoor garden as well as self-shading to
control temperatures. Once complete in 2025, it will accommodate up to
4000 Atlassian staff, and a YHA hostel on its lower levels.
Releasing designs on Wednesday, Atlassian, a global software giant,
billed it as the tallest “commercial hybrid timber” building in the
world at 180 metres high, and featuring a mix of outdoor and indoor areas.
Despite people working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, Atlassian
co-founder Scott Farquhar said he was taking a “long-term view” and
believed even a company with a highly distributed workforce needed
people to come together regularly."
I love the design!
