The Great Lakes Engineered Timber Association head office building aims to showcase the capabilities of mass timber as a structural, facade, and finish material. This building strives to maximize views of Detroit and relate to the Dequindre cut. As a net-positive building, GLETA HQ produces enough renewable energy to sustain itself and give back to the community. Looking inside the building, adaptable office space allows businesses lay out offices in a way that suits their needs, with a collaborative space that emphasizes the best views, hoping to provide as much comfort and enjoyment as possible.
