Wood Magazine 2/2019
Theme for this issue is versatile wood. There are plenty of opportunities for increasing the use of wood, as it is a construction material with numerous potential applications. Wood does not always need to be used on a grand scale, such as in the new exquisite interior of Isku’s property in Lahti or the wooden terrace built by a Helsinki family to liven up the concrete jungle. Wood use can also be increased in small details. Even the tiniest amount is always more than nothing.
