THE HAUT

HAUT enriches Amsterdam with its iconic status. Conversley, HAUT residents can enjoy the city
through high ceilings, large windows and spacious terraces. Using wood as its main building material,
and inspired by international example, HAUT is the new standard for healthy building and luxury living.

With a height of 73 meters and 21 floors, HAUT is set to become the tallest wooden residential building
in the Netherlands. HAUT is designed by Team V Architects in cooperation with ARUP. The contractor
J.P van Eesteren has started with the construction of HAUT.

HAUT is made from wood. A centuries-old building material, yet at the same time a basis for innovation
in sustainable construction. Wood does not emit CO2, but naturally absorbs it. HAUT therefore earns the
highest possible sustainability accreditation, unique in Dutch housing.

In addition to a wooden high-rise construction, HAUT will be fitted with an energy-generating façade,

triple glazing and where possible, the application of recyclable materials will also feature.

Wood has additional qualities; it breathes, it lives. Wood feels warm and therefore provides exceptional
comfort.

Old Faithful Inn
Yellowstone National Park

A national historic landmark, Old Faithful Inn is the most requested lodging facility in the park. Designed
by Robert Reamer and built in 1903-1904 with local logs and stone, the inn is considered the largest log
structure in the world. The towering lobby features a massive stone fireplace and a hand-crafted clock
made of copper, wood and wrought iron serving as focal points. This reservable lodging facility is
operated by a park partner.

Design
The Old Faithful Inn, named for the geyser, exemplifies the use of rustic architecture at a large scale to
complement a natural landscape. The rhyolite that formed Yellowstone's caldera during volcanic
upheavals provided the stone for the building's foundation, and local lodgepole pine the logs for its walls.
Skilled craftsmen embellished the windows and stairways with gnarled wood selected for its inherent
beauty. As designed by architect Robert Reamer, the inn combines rugged materials and organic motifs in
a way that expresses both frontier sensibilities and elegance.

TAIPEI 101 STEEL TOWER

the perfect examples demonstrating how sturdy steel can be as its design was specifically
made to withstand earthquakes and typhoons commonly hitting the area. Adding advanced
technological features, Taipei 101 has become Taiwan’s modern insignia since its opening in
2004.

Taipei 101, formerly Taipei Financial Center, office building in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of
China). Designed by C.Y. Lee & Partners, a local architectural firm, the skyscraper has 101
stories and reaches a height, including the spire, of 1,667 feet (508 meters).
The structural system is core plus outrigger, with 16 steel
columns in the core and 8 steel “super columns” at the
perimeter. All columns are filled with concrete up to floor
62. Massive steel outrigger trusses link the core and
perimeter columns every eighth floor. The building’s
most noteworthy structural element is its main tuned
mass damper, which can be viewed from the indoor
public observatory. The damper is a steel weight of 660
metric tons (728 short tons), suspended between the
92nd and 87th floors at the building’s center. Under
conditions of seismic stress or typhoon-force winds, the
sway of the damper tends to counteract (dampen) any
sway of the building.

WILLIS TOWER
Formerly called the Sears Tower, Willis Tower in Chicago is an impressive structure to
witness. It features several distinct smaller structures of different heights, joined together by
a steel beam. Thus, providing the building stability and support to withstand strong, high
winds. Completed in 1973, the 1,450-feet Willis Tower serves as a premier corporate office
building and is home to the highest public observation deck in the United States.

Willis Tower, formerly (1973–2009) Sears Tower, skyscraper office building in Chicago,
Illinois, located at 233 South Wacker Drive, which is one of the world’s tallest buildings. The
Sears Tower opened to tenants in 1973, though construction was not actually completed
until 1974. Built for Sears, Roebuck and Company, the structure reaches 110 floors and a
height of 1,450 feet (442 meters), excluding broadcast antennas and their supports, and
provides more than 400,000 square meters (roughly 4.3 million square feet) of floor space
for offices and other activities. (See Researcher’s Note: Height of the Willis [Sears] Tower.)
The architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) was responsible for the design
and construction of the tower; Bruce Graham served as architect and Fazlur Khan as
structural engineer.
