Sustainability Matters

The construction industry has long been consuming an exorbitant amount of sand. When used for manufacturing concrete, glass and other materials it becomes a huge matter for concern. As every architect should be able to tell you, buildings are the number one cause of CO2 - responsible for approximately 40% of annual CO2 emissions. CO2 is the biggest factor in accelerating climate change, making buildings and therefore architects, inherently responsible.

Composed of wood, a renewable resource, and manufactured without the burning of fossil fuels, CLT provides a progressive, adaptive alternative. It has been used for supportive infrastructure on large scale developments because of its versatility and profound stability. CLT has been used to bolster bridges, support heavy machinery in precarious terrain and even trusted as skyscraper material. Its potential for small scale construction has been noted because of its unmatched structural strength and versatile appearance.
