We often find wood ceilings, wood walls, wood structures in buildings, but rarely such complete wood projects, like these.

Wood is a top construction material, and there are even skyscrapers that are made of wood (see: “The new ceilings of the world, will they be wood ceilings? The arrival of wood skyscrapers”). A little investigation can discover true architectural treasures made of wood that go beyond the mere use of wood walls, wood ceilings,wood interiors… we are talking about true wood projects that will leave you with your mouth open.

Here are some wood projects:

.

The Metropol Parasol, Seville (Spain)

Of all the wood ceilings in the world, it is the largest with a total area of 12.670 m². It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer who opted for massive use of wood panels for the construction of the structure. It is used as a viewpoint of Seville and boasts a restaurant at the top.
