Wood is an extremely high-performance, ecological material, respecting the environment through its production, its extraction, its destruction, its transformation, its utilization and its recycling. It is the only renewable building material.

An Extremely Creative Potential

Wood is a natural, noble and convivial material which offers the opportunity to create tailor-designed and cordial homes, and gives a free rein to all types of architecture and design. Used for a variety of elements (framework, panelling, beams, sidings, stairways, etc.), it is modular and flexible and privileges space whilst optimizing comfort.
Mechanical and Thermal Qualities of Wood-Built Homes

The lightness of this construction material and the large range of balks and laminated timber beams give great freedom for designing your home project.
Wood is a natural insulator containing considerable acoustic absorption capacities. The thermal conductivity of Spruce, often used in wooden frameworks and in sidings, is 15 times lower than concrete and 400 times lower than steel.
Thermal comfort is naturally increased as wall temperature is close to room temperature. The absence of thermal bridges and cold wall radiation means that this thermal insulator offers many advantages. High economy-savings can be made on bills.
A wood-built home offers you a unique type of architecture, higher lifestyle comfort than in a traditional home, and a 50% reduction on your heating bills.

Our Wood-Built Homes: Reduced Risks

Contrary to popular belief, wood is one of the best fire-resistant materials. It does not increase fire risk. On the contrary, it burns slowly without channelling its heat to neighbouring areas and without emitting toxic fumes. It is highly stable as it does not expand and it does not erupt upon heating (compared with metallic structures which do); there are no immediate dangers of subsidence.
Insurance policies do not require extra premiums.

Our Building Site

Wooden frameworks mean:
• eco-friendly building sites: no mortar or plaster waste
• quick building: quick drying time
• environmentally-friendly building sites creating ecological and natural homes
Respecting the Environment

Wood breathes and meets necessary material requirements: it is free from radioactivity, gases, dust and static electricity. Moreover, it is an excellent thermal and hydrometric regulator. Wood is a clean and healthy material.
Wood is also the only building material that is indefinitely renewable. It can store 250 kg of carbon per cubic metre, whereas steel ejects 5,320 tons upon manufacturing. It is the only material that contributes to the ecological balance of the planet, and specifically, for greenhouse gas effects.
