The structure is made from reclaimed wood from century-old frames from Canada. The timber is not planed or graded, which required the use of old carpentry techniques to define the axes. They are also of various species, such as ash, elm, lime, hemlock and yellow pine. All joints are designed to be invisible, with molded plates and self-drilling dowels. The geometry of the frame was optimized to meet the high wind loads of the seaside as well as the seismic sollicitations that may be experienced in the area.
