"Timber Towers" work for up to about 10-story building (depending on architecture, building technique). It's similar to brick and mortar buildings, only with the introduction of cement and steel we got the first high rise skyscrapers (1890s-1930s). Also fire-safety (30+ min fire resistance) is a problem with wood based buildings, the photos shows that at least the elevator and staircase shaft is made out of steel reinforced concrete. That said wood based buildings have a warmer in-house climate and other positive aspects.
