EkoHomes Hybrid
Hybrid. When materials complement each other.
Modern buildings need not be made of a single material. We combine the properties of timber with other structural and architectural elements.
Combining materials
A hybrid building uses each material where it performs best: concrete or masonry for the basement and ground floor, timber for the living storeys, steel for cantilevers and special elements, stone and glass for the façade.
What each material does
Masonry partitions provide thermal mass, timber brings low weight and fast assembly, concrete adds strength and bearing capacity, glass brings light and a connection to the landscape. Each material has a different role.
Our role
We coordinate trades and suppliers so the hybrid building works as one – from structural design through component delivery to assembly and completion.
Simplified diagram – the exact build-up is designed per project and manufacturer.

Every project is different. We will find the combination of materials that makes sense.
