"We wanted Wood Up to be a totem and an emblem for the forestry and wood industry.

On a former industrial wasteland in the ZAC Paris Rive Gauche, REI Habitat recently delivered Wood Up, a 15-storey, 132-unit residential building that resulted from the "Immeuble à vivre bois" call for expressions of interest. As it prepares to welcome its first tenants, we take a closer look at the tallest wooden tower in Paris with Umberto Napolitano, co-founder of the LAN architectural firm, Sandrine Morey, Managing Director of Semapa, and Paul Jarquin, Founding Chairman of REI Habitat.
