In the suburbs of Paris, ArtBuild proposed to its client Nexity, on behalf of Renault, an alternative to a traditional office building: it was the first time that the Belgian-French architectural firm had a client who asked them to make a building in timber construction. The agency has been convinced for many years that timber construction has a positive impact on the carbon footprint of a project. It was therefore with great enthusiasm that they responded to the request. This report details the benefits of timber construction.
Dans la banlieue parisienne, ArtBuild a proposé à son client Nexity, pour le compte de Renault, une alternative à un bâtiment classique de bureaux : c’est la première fois que le bureau d’architecture belgo-français avait un client qui leur demandait de faire un bâtiment en construction bois. L’agence est convaincue depuis de nombreuses années que la construction bois a un impact positif sur l’empreinte carbone d’un projet. C’est donc avec enthousiasme qu’elle a répondu à la demande. Ce reportage détaille les avantages de la construction bois.
