FAQ

Learn More About Our Facilities

What types of facilities do you design?

We design buildings intended for public use or a wide range of activities, including hotels, restaurants, guesthouses, wellness facilities, healthcare establishments, equestrian centres, sports and leisure facilities, cultural venues, tourism buildings, multi-purpose halls, and reception spaces. Each project is custom-designed to suit its purpose, environment, and the specific needs of its operator.

Is timber suitable for a public building?

Yes. Timber buildings fully comply with the regulations governing public buildings. When designed in accordance with current standards, they provide excellent performance in terms of fire safety, acoustics, thermal comfort, and long-term durability.

Can timber be combined with other materials for a public facility?

Absolutely. We favour a hybrid-material approach whenever it best serves the project. Timber can be combined with stone, concrete, brick, or steel to take advantage of the unique strengths of each material. This complementary approach addresses technical, structural, heritage, and landscape requirements while creating a contemporary architectural identity.
