The Constructive

CHOICE: To reduce the impact of the construction sector, it is important to reniew our constructive methodology and take advantage of techniques using less energy. In this way, we proposed to rehabilitated this office building by filling it with prefabricated wood panels with bio-sourced insulation such as straw. At a lower cost, the project uses a rapid construction technique. Insulation made of straw is a natural and high-performance material. The constructive advantage of wood and straw construction and timber walls lies in the possibility of prefabricating the entire wall (load-bearing framework, insulation, joinery, finishing panel interior, exterior cladding). The low weight of the wooden frame and the straw makes it possible to create important walls in factory. It was very suitable for the renovation of this project. The panels are easily handled on site with light lifting gear. The straw comes from Ile-de-France (Paris area). Short supply chains are also possible today in the construction industry
