Responsibly sourced, wood is a renewable, low-emission resource that, in addition to storing carbon within its composition, features low thermal conductivity and high acoustic absorption, creating comfortable, well-insulated spaces year-round. A well-designed timber building will not only enhance these properties but will also be aesthetically pleasing for its occupants and highly energy-efficient.
Today, new technologies have expanded its traditional uses, bringing these qualities to building types and scales previously unexplored. Engineered wood, in particular, enables the construction of large-scale timber buildings, unlocking greater heights and diverse configurations. Moreover, it can be combined with other materials to achieve even more complex structural systems.
