Tourism and resorts
Visually striking solid-wood buildings are a premium, ecological and exceptionally attractive solution for hotels, wellness centres and mountain resorts.
Timber that gives architecture freedom
Partnership for architects and developers
We understand the technical and creative demands of our partners. We continuously refine KONTIO structural solutions so that designing sustainable, healthy solid-wood buildings is as simple, structurally clean and versatile as possible.
We call this comprehensive expertise, engineering support and know-how in working with Nordic pine Kontio WoodHow™.
Why solid wood?
Wood is the most natural and fully renewable building material. It allows you to create stylish, individual and healthy spaces without compromising on design. Long experience in demanding Nordic conditions confirms that slow-grown Finnish Arctic pine is the most durable and resilient choice for today’s sustainable architecture.

What types of projects do we focus on?
Schools and nurseries
Timber schools and nurseries are a direct investment in the health and vitality of children and teachers.
Acoustic comfort
Thanks to wood’s natural ability to absorb reverberation, KONTIO structures are also ideal for acoustically demanding, busy public spaces.
Technical resources
Beam profiles, U-values and fire resistance are currently available as information pages. Downloadable DWG/PDF documents are in preparation.
