Due to increasing global challenges for the building industry such as urban growth, scarcity of resources and complex construction work, an international research consortium led by Cree GmbH intends to face this situation by developing a wood-hybrid construction system for high-rise buildings. Therefore, the result of the research project is a unique product, the LifeCycle Tower, which functions as a solution for use in an urban context, offers high resource-efficiency by focusing on a renewable resource - timber, and is developed as a standardised universally usable modular system. The LifeCycle Tower concept is featured by a highly energy-efficient building services concept, industrial series production, supply chain management and life cycle-oriented design. In order to turn the LifeCycle Tower into reality, Cree GmbH was set up and the first two real projects will be built soon. LCT ONE will be an eight-storey demonstration building in the form of an office block in Dornbirn, Austria reporting the advantages of the building concept on a public stage. Illwerke Zentrum Montafon (IZM) is the first commissioned project and will be one of the largest wood-based office buildings in the world in Montafon, Austria.
