We applaud the appropriate choice of the different materials used in the construction of this residential building - without extreme positions.
On the one hand, the architects combine a dry-construction, lightweight structure with a heavier, wet-construction façade. On the other hand, they do not attempt to “exhibit” sustainability by allowing structural wood to be seen.
Each part has its place and its justification.
