Global software giant Atlassian will build the world’s tallest “hybrid timber” building for its new headquarters in Sydney, the company said Thursday. | AFP

Construction is due to start next year and be completed in 2025.

Highly ecological, hybrid timber constructions have seen a burst of popularity. The Netherlands is due to begin work next year on a 140m hybrid timber tower in Rotterdam. Atlassian, founded in 2001 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, says the tower will house 4,000 staff and form the hub of a new tech precinct in the central Sydney business district.

“The space that we are building will be highly sustainable and highly flexible — it will be purpose-built for the future of work, for tomorrow’s world, not today’s,” Farquhar said in a statement. He noted the post-COVID reality of more people likely working from home, but said companies still needed offices to thrive.Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar, both 40, met at the University of New South Wales in Sydney in 1998 and launched Atlassian three years later.
