Assembly glossary
A brief glossary with illustrations to give you an overview of certain elements used :
Assembly techniques
The wood-frame enables a large variety of architectural designs and styles of construction.
The structure is composed of a uniform grid of vertical poles and of horizontal crossbeams and crossbars, which enclose the construction, forming the frame on which the wooden elements are assembled.
This construction technique consists of assembling a "skeleton" of vertical standard section poles.
Some assemblies
Thanks to the high load-bearing capacity of the beams and posts, a spacious volume is left for the interior living space, open and airy.
