DISCOVER MOONWOOD & THE HOLZ100 SYSTEM
Moonwood is sustainably sourced softwood, harvested during the waning moon phase. It might sound like magic, but there’s real science behind it.
HOLZ100
The healthiest building system in the world
Holz100 is a “Mass Timber Panelized Construction System” that exclusively uses Moonwood (and no other materials, preservatives, or glues) to create customizable, versatile, and long-lasting private homes. Better for you and better for the planet.
The Benefits of Building Holz100
THE BENEFITS OF BUILDING HOLZ100
FIRE RESISTANT
Holz100 homes were shown to withstand exposure to flames of 900–1000°C for 150 minutes, significantly exceeding all fire protection standards. 3–5 times better fire safety than reinforced concrete, brick ceilings, and timber-framed houses. Fire resistant up to REI 120 min or F 90.
HEAT & SOUND INSULATION
Thanks to its patented construction method, Holz100 homes possess record-breaking insulation properties, insulating twice as well as solid or glued wood. With their double-layer wall structures and modified ceiling constructions, Holz100 homes far surpass sound insulation standards.
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT
Holz100 homes were shown to survive the most rigorous seismic testing due to their doweled structure. In practice, Holz100 homes have survived numerous earthquakes in Japan unscathed, including the devastating Tohoku earthquake of 2011.
INSECT RESISTANT
Due to the unique harvesting method of Moonwood, the exclusive material used in Holz100 homes, the wood is supremely resistant to insect infestation and damage.
RADIATION RESISTANT
Holz100 homes were shown to almost fully protect against high-frequency radiation, providing inhabitants with a safe living space while maintaining all the positive effects of the earth’s magnetic field.
MOLD RESISTANT
Holz100 homes boast a 50-year no mold or condensation guarantee, assuring a safe and healthy home that lasts with little to no maintenance.
HOLZ100 CERTIFICATIONS
Holz100 has the European Technical Approval (ETA-13/0785)
Holz100 is the only building material in the world with the Cradle to Cradle certification in Gold.
Holz100 is made of PEFC-certified wood from sustainable forestry.

FULLY
CUSTOMIZABLE
Holz100 homes can be built in any architectural style imaginable. From private homes to hotels, offices, and medical buildings, the Holz100 mass timber panelized construction system has proven itself to be perfectly adaptable.
SHORTER CONSTRUCTION TIME
Because the system is largely constructed in advance, Holz100 homes can be constructed in as little as one day. Furthermore, the short construction times limit the potential for moisture or mold
build-up, which in turn saves costs.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Holz100 homes are free from toxic construction chemicals. They offer a unique, naturally regulating air-conditioning system, inherent to untreated wood. Stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer without exorbitant fees or wasteful heating & cooling systems.
