French-Brazilian o iceTriptyquehas released plans for a mixed-used, all-wooden highrise.

Located on a 1,025-square-meter site in So Paulo, the 13-story building will contain a total of
4,700 square meters of space dedicated to coworking, coliving, and a restaurant.

The building, initiated by Brazilian forest management company AMATA, will be built in CLT, "a
high-tech product made of multiple layers of massive wood laid down in two di erent
directions." The material harnesses the wood's structural properties andcan be used in high-
rise buildings.

From the architects. The AMATA Building brings innovative solutions and that is not only
because of thematerial,wood, but also because of its design, reduced construction time,
durability and architectural possibilities. The building is the naturalization of architecture put to
practice, o ering a total sensorial experience, the metaphor to an urban habitable forest, the
visible and the invisible wood, the use of vegetation as well as the landscape.

With its stepped silhouette, it will blend in perfectly with Vila Madalenas uneven topography,
creating an architecturally interesting point for visitation. The wooden building represents the
seed to a new inexhaustible construction paradigm.
