28 Walker Development
Baltimore, Maryland

Upon its completion in 2022, 40Ten became the first mass timber building in the City of Baltimore. This 105,000 square-foot boutique office space is part of The Collective, a larger mixed-use development in the industrial Canton neighborhood.

40Ten’s timber structure comprises dowel laminated timber (DLT) floor and roof panels on a glulam post and beam structure. The DLT panels utilize an architectural kerf-cut profile on the exposed underside surface, which provides a clean shadow reveal on every board.

A framed entrance is carved from the simple and elegant repetitive contours of the façade, creating a dynamic design that highlights the wood structure within. A raised access floor masks mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines.

With a vision of sustainability and keeping up with the latest technological trends in construction, the design incorporates SageGlass, which reduces heat gain and prevents glare inside the office spaces.
