"From historic wooden foundations to modern water structures, wood is an essential material in Dutch construction! ???
Did you know. The Netherlands has more than 16 million wooden piles supporting houses and waterworks like this one, especially in cities with soft soil like Amsterdam. These poles, often made of spruce and pine, can last for centuries as long as they remain underwater! ?✨
Wood remains a sustainable choice, and the country is now making a shift towards timber construction for homes. The goal is to build 900,000 new houses with renewable materials such as wood before 2030. But local production can only support about 90,000 wooden homes a year. This highlights the need for innovative solutions to meet sustainability goals. ?
Let's celebrate these timeless wooden wonders and look ahead to a greener future! ?
