The project will offer apartments in sizes ranging from approximately 40 square meters to large lofts spanning over 110 square meters, including units with an adjoining garden.

Advantages of timber buildings

1. Quality

Wooden materials are very durable and breathable. Spruce and larch timber comes from Austria, Czechia, and Germany.

2. Healthy lifestyle

Wood creates a natural ambience, reduces stress, improves the frame of mind, has germicidal properties, and maintains ideal air humidity.

3. Sustainability

Timber Praha project reduces carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 60 % compared to traditional construction methods. Wood is a durable and renewable natural material.

4. Energy self-
    sufficiency

The buildings will be fitted with heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, geothermal wells, retention tanks to reuse rainwater for watering, smart technologies etc.

5. Low cost

Timber Praha project is implemented with PENB in category A, aiming for BREEAM Excellent environmental certification.

6. Future

Timber apartment buildings are the trend of the future. They bring sustainability, financial efficiency, and a better indoor climate.
