This exceptional complex is a low-carbon wood construction demonstrator, the tallest in France at the time of its inauguration, at 38 m high.
It comprises three buildings with wooden central cores, such as the floors, load-bearing partition walls and façade (CLT cross-laminated timber). The post-and-beam structure is made of glued laminated timber.
