The architectural appeal of this home is defined not only by its form but also by the striking interplay between metal cladding and an exclusive thermally modified ash finish. The project features a seamless metal envelope covering both the roof and the facade, maintaining a sleek aesthetic through the use of concealed gutter systems.
The interior continues this theme of refined craftsmanship, where painted CLT is left exposed as the final finish, showcasing the home's structural integrity as a key design element.

Foundation, groundwork and interior finishing fall outside the ZTC scope.
After our decision to build a wooden house, we ended up at ZTC through an internet search. From the first moment the contact was positive and constructive. We were able to ask all our questions and received quick answers both by email and via Teams consultation. During the design process, they thought carefully and proactively and searched for suitable solutions. During a company visit we received a good explanation about the construction process in the factories. The construction crew who built the house worked smoothly and neatly. They had a good eye for detail and the few minor problems that arose were resolved neatly. Construction went according to time schedule. Communication was in English, but we did not experience that as a problem. Even our architect was very pleased with the quality delivered and we can recommend ZTC to everyone.
