Advantages Of House Extension
Unconventional modularity
Due to its wooden frame architecture, the wooden extension allows you to easily create a warm living space tailored to your needs. Canted sides, half-moon, staggered roof effects with elevations, play of light thanks to large bay windows… everything is possible with timber frame architecture! The lightness of the material allows all fantasies! You can thus free yourself from the constraints of the existing one by imagining fluid interior-exterior connections, elevations with flat roofs.
A real architectural talent
The wooden extension allows you to keep all the originality and authenticity of your house by enhancing its natural character with a very contemporary design element. Wood goes well with all kinds of materials: local stones, bricks, concrete, metal.
By opting for wood, you are choosing an aesthetically interesting and modern solution. The exterior finish in treated raw wood or in wood painted in your colors depends on your wishes.
The extension can be imagined in the continuity of the frame or in rupture for an original architectural effect.
Your house thus increases in value by adding to its initial surface a durable and scalable, very modern construction.
