Office

Beauty + sustainability + biophilic design = market distinction for wood office buildings. Office projects tend to be fairly consistent in their need for large open spaces and future adaptability—both of which can be accommodated with wood and hybrid systems. Wood’s design flexibility lends itself to inspirational work environments. Its sustainability and light carbon footprint can communicate a company’s values through structure. Its cost competitiveness makes wood a viable choice for your next office project.
