Historic Farmhouse Roof Renovation: Timber Structures and Traditional Building Techniques

At Urban Climate Architects, we believe in the power of sustainable renovation while respecting prehistoric heritage. This roof renovation of a farm in Groningen shows how wood structures and traditional wood connections contribute to a sturdy, authentic and future-proof restoration.

Sustainable Timber Structures: Strong and Circular

For this renovation, we consciously opted for sustainable wood structures. Wood is not only a robust and flexible building material, but also contributes to a circular economy and a lower environmental impact. By using natural materials, the character of the farm is preserved and the construction has a longer lifespan.

Wood connections: Craftsmanship without concessions

To ensure the authentic appearance of this historic farm, traditional wood compounds have been used. This traditional technique - without the use of modern metal fasteners - provides a sturdy and flexible roof structure that is resistant to weather influences. By combining classic building methods with innovative techniques, we strengthen both construction and heritage.

Innovation and Tradition in Harmony

This project proves that innovation and traditional construction techniques go hand in hand. By applying the latest insights into woodworking, we strengthen the craftsmanship that has been used in historic buildings for centuries. This is how we honor the past and prepare this farm for the future.
