Advancing Timber Innovation in Residential & Cultural Structures

27 October 2025

Eckersley O’Callaghan’s Sydney office continues to celebrate its ability to deliver structural services from concept through to construction across a diverse portfolio of timber frame residential projects. These works reflect a deep commitment to well-resolved, enduring timber design, where structural clarity and material efficiency go hand in hand.

Among these, six projects stand out for their specialist use of glulam and cross-laminated timber (CLT) with each showcasing our expertise in harnessing engineered timber systems to achieve innovative, sustainable, and precise outcomes.

Alice Street, a new duplex residential development in Jindabyne, exemplifies this approach. This project adopts CLT as its primary structural system, combining timber engineering innovation, collaborative design, and accurate fabrication coordination to deliver a high-quality residential outcome within a demanding alpine environment.

Patonga Street and Way Way Creek Road, both private residences that demonstrate the power of early structural input and collaboration in creating bespoke timber homes. In each case, exposed timber structures and carefully detailed connections bring both warmth and technical sophistication to the architecture.

At Gannet Place in Tea Gardens, we applied our expertise in engineered timber design to deliver a residence that expresses CLT and glulam as its primary structure. Fabricated with precision, the exposed CLT panels required careful detailing to ensure both visual clarity and construction efficiency.

Beyond residential work, our contribution to the Central Park development in Bradfield highlights how timber and other structural solutions can integrate seamlessly within a broader architectural and landscape vision. From competition phase through to completion, our team delivered integrated structural and facade engineering services, working closely with the wider design team to bring complex, sculptural timber and landscape structures to life.
