"Most wonderful clients - St Luke's Health - who at the core of what they do, they've got the fantastic vision for Tasmania to be the healthiest island in the world. When it came time to do the project, we just thought doing a mass timber building and the inherent qualities that, that will bring in terms of proven data around the benefits for people that are using those buildings, the enjoyment, the healthy aspects of working within an all-timber building, it was a perfect fit."
