NEW ZEALAND—Tauranga City Council’s new office building at 90 Devonport Road is set to be the largest mass timber office building in New Zealand and will target a net zero carbon footprint for the building’s construction process. Warren and Mahoney’s 90 Devonport, a 10,000m2, eight-storey, mass timber office building in Tauranga for property developer Willis Bond, is targeting a low-embodied-carbon footprint, with the use of a mass timber structure replacing traditional concrete and steel elements. …the architects are working with Willis Bond, Tauranga City Council and mana whenua to incorporate matauranga Maori principles throughout the design. Sustainable benefits are key drivers for the project. …“Mass timber construction enables the building to store more carbon than it emits during the construction phase,” adds architect Divya Purushotham, “setting a significant benchmark, particularly for the Tauranga region.”
