Offices
Modern building techniques allow us to build cost-effective, fast and climate-friendly with a high degree of flexibility that allows different types of adaptations to both the city and the room’s daily and long-term needs for change. For an office building these are all desirable properties.
Using wood in the construction is a way to achieve a working space that suits all needs. Large office buildings erected in densely populated urban areas can benefit from off-site production of engineered timber. The building process is quick and efficient with less noise pollution.
Remodeling, as increasing the size of the building, or rearranging existing space, is easily done with a wood construction. Another benefit of an office with a wooden framework is that wood provides great thermal performance, which means it is efficient to heat and cool and therefore save considerable amounts on utility bills. It has also been indicated that working in timber surrounds can lead to a lower heart rate and blood pressure.
