The beauty of timber
A carbon negative architectural design solution, whilst embracing biophilia
Hinoki is a very unique timber. Naturally antibacterial and antifungal, there is no timber more suitable for joinery and cladding applications. The wood’s natural fragrance is also highly valued and has been proven to have a calming and soothing effect on the mind and body.
It can be used in furniture making, lining boards, benchtops, cladding, decking, and screening, to name a few.
