News Summary:
BVN Architecture will mark its centenary in August 2026, commemorating 100 years since founding principal Arthur Bligh established the practice in Toowoomba, regional Queensland. The firm has since expanded from a sole practice to a global collective with studios in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, New York, and London. Previously, on August 3, 2026, the Atlassian Central tower in Sydney, co-designed by SHoP and BVN, topped out as the world's tallest hybrid timber tower. The 39-story commercial building stands at 590 feet (over 180 meters), surpassing Milwaukee's Ascent tower by approximately 330 feet, having reached its full structural height in late July. This project signifies a milestone for sustainable high-rise construction, combining mass timber with steel and concrete. Earlier, on July 8, 2026, BVN's New York studio established re-ply in June 2020, an initiative that repurposed thousands of structural plywood sheets from boarded-up New York shopfronts during the 2020 pandemic and protests, diverting material from landfill.
