Accoya modified wood selected for renovation project of German embassy
30 July 2014Accoya, the high performance modified wood product, has been selected as the wood of choice by HPP architects for the renovation of the German Embassy in Washington DC.
The prestigious property combines the main colonial-style embassy building and a semi-detached house. Both structures were designed in the 1960s by prominent German architect Egon Eiermann.
In recent years, the impressive main embassy building has suffered from asbestos contamination. As a result, the entire German embassy has been completely renovated in order to meet modern-day health and safety standards.
To fulfil the requirements of the job, the team of architects elected to use Accoya modified wood, manufactured by Accsys Technologies, as part of the overall renovation project. Accoya wood, is said to deliver outstanding levels of performance, including stability and durability.
