Technical information

The post and beam construction system uses laminated wood columns (vertical members) and beams (horizontal members) to create this building load-bearing structure. These loading elements are arranged in such a way as to guarantee total flexibility for the design of the facades and internal partition wall. The strengths of this construction technology, which is perfect for multi-storey buildings, lie in the freedom for distributionof the interior walls and the facility to reposition them also at a later date.
