This is a concept for constructing a building entirely out of wood, the building being any house from A to Z, the ultimate objective being self-build. Once the blocks have been placed one on top of the other, and once the structure is finished, the house is complete! There is no longer any need to provide an inner or outer skin. Indeed, the inside of the blocks, the inside of the walls, can accommodate all possible and conceivable utility shafts, electric wiring, water supply pipes, heating pipes, waste pipes, ventilation and insulation . . . The design is not simply a block, that would be too easy, but a block of a certain size which, when applied in certain ways, enables an entire house or an entire building to be constructed quickly and simply. Thus:-the walls are built (without a single nail or screw, simply by nesting the blocks together, like a construction set);-floor beams are created using the same wooden system, but prestressed with threaded rods, providing very high strength and able to cover wide spans (the wall-floor relationship is a fundamental element justifying this type of build);-a staircase is created (again using the same system of blocks and simply by nesting them together) (a child's toy at a ridiculously low cost);-and a roof is built (the simplest and most economic form of roof would be a flat roof, but a sloping roof could also be created). Even though foundations are needed only at the corners of the main bearing walls, this
