Arolla: Building Sustainable Connections — Arolla

At Arolla, we believe in the power of sustainable beauty. This isn’t just a tagline - it’s the foundation of our approach to creating homes that nurture both people and the planet. Our architectural system is based entirely on state-of-the-art Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), which offers superior environmental and health benefits while delivering spaces that foster human connection and respect for nature.

In a world where the construction industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions - approximately 36% of CO2 emissions worldwide - Arolla stands as a pioneer in sustainable solutions that don’t compromise quality, beauty, or functionality. Our CLT-based approach represents not just a construction method, but a philosophy that places equal importance on environmental responsibility and human wellbeing.

Pioneering Sustainable Construction with The Arolla Way

Sustainable construction is at the heart of everything we do at Arolla. Our unique methodology, or, as we call it, The Arolla Way, integrates client care with environmental consciousness to deliver bespoke homes in a fraction of the usual time. This isn’t about cutting corners - it’s about reimagining the entire construction process through the lens of sustainability and efficiency.

The rise of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) in Europe represents more than just a construction trend; it’s a paradigm shift towards a more sustainable future. As CLT homes become increasingly prevalent, we’re witnessing a transformation in how society interacts with its built environment. These structures offer a harmonious blend of modern living and environmental stewardship, reducing our carbon footprint while creating healthier, more comfortable living spaces. At Arolla, we’re at the forefront of this revolution, demonstrating the vast potential of timber construction. Our work isn’t just about building homes; it’s about fostering a deeper connection between people and nature, promoting wellbeing, and paving the way for a more sustainable society

Our approach to sustainable construction combines technical innovation with a deep respect for nature. We maintain complete ownership of the process from tree sourcing to final construction, ensuring that every step aligns with our commitment to sustainability. This level of control allows us to guarantee that our homes are not just beautiful, but also sustainable.

Beyond the technical aspects, we design spaces that evolve with families and communities. Our Multi-Generation Home concept creates living environments that adapt to changing family dynamics – from young couples to growing families to multi-generational households. These adaptable designs foster connection between generations, enabling knowledge sharing and creating spaces where stories and traditions can be passed down in comfortable, sustainable surroundings.

Building a Sustainable Legacy

As we look to the future, Arolla remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what sustainable construction can achieve. We believe that beautiful, healthy homes shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. By combining innovative CLT technology with our deeply-held values of community, connection, and respect for nature, we're not just building homes – we're creating a legacy of sustainability for generations to come.
