A Wooden Apartment Building To Be Built in Pardubice

Wood is the building material of the future – it is a renewable resource that constantly regenerates and has a passive CO2 footprint. In its overall life cycle, from its growth through to use in building construction, it consumes more CO2 than it produces. Moreover, construction using timber is exceptionally quick, less noisy, and dust-free – therefore producing the least strain on the environment. Wooden buildings possess a healthy, pleasant, and inspiring interior environment, and exposed wood surfaces in their interiors are a popular feature. All these benefits are being recognized by an increasing number of investors and developers, who together feel responsibility for the future of our planet and have been reacting accordingly. Linkcity Czech Republic, part of the French construction group Bouygues Construction, is one of these. As part of the extensive reconstruction of a Pardubice brownfield, they will build their pilot project for a wooden apartment building.
