Our vision
We envision the development of the world’s largest carbon sink by advancing global mass timber construction to permanently store large quantities of carbon in buildings.
Recognizing global boundaries, we use softwood from sustainably managed forests only to manufacture high-performing timber modules with passive energy and health benefits.
We approach the challenges of the growing need for housing and infrastructure as a chance to help build our way out of the climate crisis with sensible mass timber construction.
Our mission
We design climate- and resource-friendly mass timber buildings with outstanding operational performance thanks to a passive energy system and renewable energy solutions.
Our unique building platform with a digital building configurator enables us to deliver buildings widely to the global market by reducing property developers' budgets, providing real estate investors with savings and reducing overall risks.
The invention of a modular interface system offers easy assembly, disassembly and reuse of all building modules - advancing buildings into a new highly-flexible asset class. This prolongs building lifecycles to several hundred years, offering multiple environmental and economic benefits to the global construction sector.
