Green Architecture – Green Construction

If steel dominated the 19th century and the 20th century belonged to reinforced concrete, then wood is the defining material of the 21st century.

In a world facing the depletion of natural resources, increased natural disasters, and environmental pollution, the adoption of “green” architecture and construction materials is gradually becoming a sustainable development trend for the future, replacing environmentally harmful materials.

Questions arise about how wood can replace steel and concrete. Indeed, inherently, the lifespan and quality of wood may not be long-lasting. Only with technical expertise and technology can wood become durable and achieve a longer lifespan.

Breakthrough Natural Wood Technology

The application of natural wood in architectural projects is increasingly favored. However, wood is constantly subjected to biological factors (termites, borers, decay fungi…) and non-biological factors (temperature, humidity…), leading to cracking, warping, or destruction. Recognizing this, TranDuc Homes has developed two advanced wood treatment technologies:

• New Zealand’s Wood Treatment Technology for Termite and Rot Resistance: This technology completely prevents termites and rot under harsh outdoor conditions.
• Heat-Treated Timber Modification Technology (Thermo Timber): This technology maintains the natural properties of wood, is environmentally friendly, highly durable, color consistent, thermally insulated, termite-resistant, dimensionally stable, suitable for all weather conditions, non-toxic, resin-free, and the most superior material. TranDuc Homes is the only company in Southeast Asia to own a Thermo kiln imported from Europe.

Architecture and Art

In recent years, architectural and construction forums have raised questions such as: “Does architecture create works of art?” or “We have many buildings but few architectural masterpieces.”

In fact, during the architectural creation process, architects and investors constantly question whether they have created art and whether the architecture is truly functional. Understanding this concern, TranDuc Homes has been working with many leading investors and architects in Vietnam to create a wood structure solution for architectural construction with high aesthetic, impressive, and unique requirements, while optimizing functionality, through a team with over 15 years of experience in the construction field and state-of-the-art machinery and technology.

Green Homes – Ecolux Homes

The stuffiness and crampedness of urban life have driven the demand for a “second home” with full connectivity to nature and environmental friendliness. Alongside the primary residence, the second home serves as a retreat, rejuvenating the owner and family after busy daily life. Applying advanced wood processing technology, TranDuc Homes has introduced the Ecolux Homes product line, ensuring both GREEN living criteria and long-term sustainability. True to the meaning of “Sustainable” – environmental protection, sustainable development – a home that withstands the test of time.

Moreover, with the “factory-made home” model – a closed process from design, production, and completion entirely at the factory – on-site installation takes only 14 days to complete a two-bedroom home with full smart amenities, luxury, and environmental friendliness. Ecolux Homes is the perfect solution for weekend getaways and eco-friendly resorts.
