Wooden Architecture
Wooden architecture is a style of building that incorporates use of timber in its construction, which is a renewable and sustainable material. Wooden buildings can be designed in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be both small in scale, such as a garden shed, or large, such as a multi-storey apartment block. Using timber in construction can be beneficial from an environmental perspective, as timber is a renewable resource, and can be sustainably sourced from responsibly managed forests. Wooden buildings can also offer improved thermal efficiency due to their excellent insulation properties, making them energy efficient and cost-effective to run.
