美 Colorado 打造 12 层全木公寓，环保时尚

A 12-story mass timber apartment building, Return to Form, is planned for Denver after being recognized for its sustainable properties, as announced at the AIA Conference on Architecture. The building is one of six proposals selected for the Softwood Lumber Board and USDA Forest Service’s Building to Net-Zero Carbon competition. Winning projects were awarded based on their ability to demonstrate mass timber’s role in reducing the built environment’s carbon footprint. Local development group Katz Development was recognized for their efforts to reduce carbon—and awarded a $250,000 grant—for the development. The architects and designers of the project are Denver-based studio Tres Birds. The building is inspired by local Denver structures, including brick-and-timber lofts in the area. The team aims to modernize these buildings while creating an environment surrounded by wood harvested from U.S. forests. Once completed, it will be the tallest mass timber structure in Colorado, and one of the tallest in the United States. Found Andrew Katz said that "We have assembled a world-class team including some of the leading mass timber experts in the country to execute the vision."
