Examples

At AHEC we strive to change the way people think about hardwood as a material. We have seen a revolution in the way timber is used and it’s creating all sorts of new opportunities. Many hardwoods have a performance that can’t be ignored, which can provide huge benefits to designers, architects and engineers. This is something we communicate through our own creative projects, capture in our case studies of work from others and demonstrate through examples of use; providing new and exciting references of how American hardwoods are the perfect material in terms of form and function.

If you would like to submit a case study or example of the use of American hardwoods, please get in touch.
