As part of the urban development of Metz, a new gymnasium is under construction, featuring advanced engineering techniques and a commitment to sustainability. The project combines LC spruce GL24h cross-beams, steel columns, and insulated concrete precast walls to ensure the stability of the structure. The timber roof structure serves as a support for the photovoltaic panels. BET Moselle Bois, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the structural analysis and design.

The buildings, constructed with 52,972 ft3 of zinc-coated wood, are both an architectural masterpiece and an innovative achievement to inspire housing sustainability for the next decade.
Modern design methods and fabrication techniques of CLT panels allow for easier design and construction of high‑rise timber buildings.
“Îlot bois de Strasbourg” is one of the first CLT building projects in France to exceed 98 ft in height. This building complex, consisting of three high‑rise buildings, provides commercial space on the ground floor and 146 residential units on the upper floors.

One of the world's longest timber bridges was built in Anaklia, a climatic spa town on the eastern shore of the Black Sea. Construction was completed in the beginning of 2012. It is more than 1,640 ft long and connects the hotel and port area with a coastal area that is so far almost unused but will be developed for tourism in upcoming years.
In summer 2012, the first Czech treetop walkway opened in Lipno in the presence of Václav Klaus, then President of the Czech Republic. A path 2,214 ft in length leads to a major tourist attraction: the tree tower.
On the top platform, at a height of 131 ft, visitors can enjoy the wonderful view from the wooden lookout over Šumava National Park and Lipno Dam on the Vltava River. In the center, the tower includes a playground slide 170.6 ft in length, representing the longest closed slide in the Czech Republic.
