Description
With KABEBASHIRA, innovative wall column, highly seismic resistance of wood-based building can be achieved at low cost.
The column is made of connected square timbers that are originally collected from tree thinning and flexibly absorbs vibration stress. Its new building process prevents building from collapsing by supporting the whole building weight. This technology provides for a safe and comfortable home.
