Murray Grove housing by Waugh Thistleton kickstarted "tall-timber movement"

The second case study in our Timber Revolution series is Murray Grove, a London housing tower by Waugh Thistleton that has a superstructure built almost entirely from cross-laminated timber.
Slotted into a residential area in Hackney, the groundbreaking Murray Grove garnered international recognition when it was completed in 2009.
With a nine-storey superstructure constructed almost entirely out of cross-laminated timber (CLT), it had just become the world's tallest timber residential building.
