up">SHAWOOD aims to be the ultimate in comfortable wooden framed housing, and the foundation that supports that spatial quality is our strong passion towards product creation, nurtured by a unique Japanese aesthetic.<br> If something is to be loved and used over the long term and be a stress-free shelter to enjoy life with your family, not only does it need superior external design, it also needs long-lasting quality, durability and usability, as well as be comfortable to use.<br> Underlying this is the attention to detail and a rigorous approach to product creation which brings out this superior performance.<br>SHAWOOD pursues enhanced functionality while still using natural materials of wood and earth, with continuously evolving technology that designs exactly the home that we desire with the utmost care while removing what is not essential to achieve that.</p> </div> <div class="h5_outer"> <h5 class="up">SHAWOOD hybrid structure</h5> <p class="up"> SHAWOOD’s original hybrid structure merges the advantages of both the “Rahmen” rigid-frame and a monocoque structure to withstand earthquakes and other external forces.<br>This hybrid structure makes possible large

text_only"> Based on our desire to provide homes that are a stress-free sanctuary for residents, SHAWOOD homes are durable, earthquake-resistant and scientifically tested to even withstand earthquakes of unprecedented size.<br> In Japan – a land of frequent powerful earthquakes - SHAWOOD homes have withstood the largest earthquakes without a single one becoming even partially destroyed.<br> It is this technology-based resilience and sense of safety and security that we hope to bring to the rest of the world.</p> </div> <div class="h5_outer"> <h5 class="up">Support from the foundation and joints <br>(Foundation Direct Joint / MJ joint system)</h5> <p class="up"> SHAWOOD’s precision foundation makes it possible to connect the posts firmly and directly with the foundation through the use of metal fittings, leading to a rigid structure that prevents the posts from becoming dislodged or falling.<br> The other disaster resilient feature used worldwide is the joint between the posts and beams.<br>SHAWOOD has introduced the metal joint, or MJ System, that tightly connects posts and beams through these proprietary metal joints.<br> Because structural materials are pre-cut and pre-set off-site, there is less work required on site, allowing for smoother on-site build and consistent strength. </p> <ul class="float_image_list clearfix"> <li class="up"><img
