Honeycomb wooden structure

A honeycomb or diamond-shaped frame is a unique technique which offers special mechanical qualities and a surprising visual effect. It enables the building of curved roof with no intermediate structure. The attic can be turned into a full living space with a pleasant and warm aspect.



A honeycomb structure consists of thin evenly sized strips that are assembled with a constant angle. The strips are interconnected and create a light but strong and self-supporting structure.
