This six-level timber framed apartment building is under construction in New Zealand. The building, in Wellington, is in the highest seismic zone in the country and is predominately braced by plywood-lined walls. Specifically developed details address issues of acoustic performance, vertical load and lateral load resistance, and ductility under seismic attack. Use of such a system simplified the construction of a transfer structure between the apartments and car parking levels as well as providing an economical form of construction.
