Building with Wood
We like to build in timber where we can. Its primary appeal is the positive impact on the quality of space. The warmth of a timber interor, the way the material interacts with light, the grain, the smell, the variation all combine to give a space a unique character which is hard to replicate in other materials.
Envoronmentally, timber is carbon squestering, and uses less energy to proceess into a building material
On site, timber is great to work with, frames go up quickly and the building takes shape fast. Unlike steel and concrete, there is room for adjustment. Another key difference is how it performs thermally. A timber frame is a much better starting point for a highly insulated wall than a masonry structure.
