Grand Canal could be set to welcome one of the tallest timber structures in Europe if plans for the Dock Mill building go ahead.

Images have been released of the new Dock Mill project which, if completed, will be split into office space and apartments and will boast a winter garden on the top level. Designed by Urban Agency Architects, the ambitious project will 'set a new standard for sustainable architecture of the future', according to DesignBoom.com. The building will 'benefit from the wood’s natural moisture levels, which sustains healthy air quality, rendering a more breathable building' and will 'aim to showcase the enormous potential of wood while breathing new life into a historical building.' https://twitter.com/DubCham/status/1322101427997736961 If realised, the building will become the second tallest timber building in Europe after the Moja Building in Norway.
