GOODMAN MOORABBIN

MASS TIMBER WAREHOUSE AND SHOWROOM

The Goodman Mass Timber Warehouse is sited east of Moorabbin Airport and is a built example of Goodman’s commitment to embedding sustainability at the core of their business strategy.

Structurally designed by our team in Melbourne and constructed by Ballarat based H. Troon, the Goodman Warehouse is a landmark step for mass timber in Australia.

PROJECT FEATURES:

• Over 7000 timber elements were manufactured by Hess in Austria and transported to Melbourne to deliver a 15,000 sqm warehouse/showroom.
• Main columns and rafters are 1.2m deep glulam elements providing the primary structural system and a beautiful ceiling aesthetic.
• A design philosophy targeting simplicity with the majority of connections relying on bearing between timber elements and drilled screws.

The result – a structure with over 20% less embodied carbon than its equivalent in steel and an industrial asset of lasting value.
