wood Houses 2
The ubiquitous use of wood historically and up into present times reminds us of its unique contribution to our culture and well- being. the extraordinary physical properties of wood lend themselves to a wide range of applications. Such a light, versatile, durable, malleable,
permeable and readily available material is capable of forming permanent structures that are affordable and environmentally friendly. Its organic nature feels intuitively familiar and its texture appeals to our senses so much so that its mere presence is felt to impart warmth and personality in contrast to the perceived repetitive and cold appearance of other construction materials.
