Freedom to design
Planes, curves, sculptural volumes: elements open a field of exploration for architects.
Seeking investors
Build differently.
A vision to develop.
Newood is seeking investors to support the development of its composite wood building system. Explore the technology and its potential applications.

One material, new perspectives
Rethink the structure.
Free the space.
Newood combines OSB wood panels with an expanded polystyrene core, joined with structural adhesives. The principle: create a shell from prefabricated elements.
01A wood and insulation composite envelope
02Straight, curved and double-curved elements
03Space for integrated services
A different building logic
From the element to the whole.
One principle to explore housing, workspaces and distinctive architectural forms.
Prefabrication
Blocks and larger elements let construction be considered ahead of work on site.
Shell continuity
Bonded assembly and panel reinforcement form the basis of the Newood system.
Potential applications
Ideas taking shape.
Housing, workspaces, free forms: concepts illustrating potential applications of the Newood system.
An encouraging assessment
Newood in California!
In January 2015, Willem van Willigen met with structural engineering professor Joel P. Conte at the University of California San Diego to discuss Newood technology.
Following the presentation and their discussions, the professor expressed an encouraging assessment of the principles presented and the potential of Newood technology in his letter dated March 3, 2015.
