Timber in Architecture is a versatile and sustainable building material celebrated for its strength, natural beauty, and adaptability. Used for centuries in structural and decorative applications, timber remains a cornerstone of both traditional and modern design. Its renewable nature and low environmental impact make it an ideal choice for eco-friendly construction, while advancements in engineered wood products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT), enable innovative, large-scale architectural solutions. Timber’s warmth, texture, and ability to seamlessly integrate with other materials contribute to its enduring appeal in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces.
