residential construction project

A sustainable future in timber construction: demonstration project sets new standards in rural housing construction in Fujian.
Professor Zeli Que, who heads the Department of Timber Construction at Nanjing Forestry University in China, and his team have designed and realized an innovative wood-based housing project in rural Fujian Province. The building features a “3 + 1” structure that combines three floors made of timber elements – consisting of beams and columns – with a top floor built using concrete construction. This hybrid structure leverages the strengths of both materials: while the timber ensures lightness, flexibility, and sustainability, the concrete enhances structural stability and improves load distribution. The project involved the use of innovative timber construction technologies, including our LIGNOLOC® wooden nails, which were used to sustainably fasten the interior wall cladding.
