Wood elicits a feeling of warmth, comfort and relaxation, something we all associate with home.
There are countless studies concluding that use of wood in homes, places of business, learning and healing provide multiple physiological, psychological and environmental benefits
In our quest to build green, we pioneered Artius Timber Homes (TM) built using Glulam beams and columns for structural components and variety of materials for walls, floors, roofs etc.
This kind of construction is considered very premium in western countries and brings in a unique luxury quotient and distinction to the house.
Contrary to the general perception, wood when engineered correctly can be used in a variety of environmental conditions and with little maintenance can last for centuries.
