Description

Giving this versatile material new respect, the timeless and enduring qualities of wood are brought into focus through this full colour, illustrated book. Sustainable French Timber Houses provides an insight into the amazing properties of this much used material.

Of all building materials, wood is not only the most renewable, but it also contributes to preserving the environment; the shorter construction time for timber houses, the freedom associated with designing with wood and its inherent organic qualities also make it an ideal choice for architects.

From whimsical log cabin-like structures to sleek 21st-century dwellings with contemporary linear styles, this book explores the cosy ambience of building with woodby covering16 recent projects from France.
