Exterior wood panels are a clear example of sustainability and avant-garde.
As an example, the Wittywood project in Barcelona, the first office building built entirely of wood, with top quality finishes and the latest innovations in sustainability and technology, totally efficient on the surface. In this building, exterior wood panels have been used for decoration on the wall surfaces of the roof terrace as shown in the images.
