Vienna’s famous palaces and opera houses are set to be joined by a new tourist attraction – the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.
When it is completed in 2017, the timber-framed tower will be 24 storeys high with more than 200,000 square feet of commercial and residential space.
Designed by architects at RLP Rudiger Lainer+Partner, the €65million (£45million) HoHo Vienna project is expected to include a hotel, offices, flats and wellness centre.
It will be located in Seestadt Aspern, a massive urban development site in north-east Vienna, about 75 per cent of the building will be made of wood.
The 275-ft tower will be a hybrid: it will have a concrete core with a self-supporting timber shell secured to it.
