Our story
Voici la traduction en anglais : Woodcab was founded in 2020 by Arthur Dumont with a clear ambition: to design modular wooden structures with a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, combining design, comfort, and speed of installation. From the very beginning, Woodcab’s vision has been rooted in workshop prefabrication, ensuring a high-quality finish, superior technical control, and rapid on-site installation with minimal hassle for clients. Initially, manufacturing was outsourced to specialized partners. In 2024, Woodcab inaugurated its own production site in Braine-le-Château. The first modules developed by Woodcab were garden offices, allowing buyers to create quiet, comfortable, and bright workspaces right next to their homes.
Over the years, the range has expanded to include studios, pool houses, lodges, and complete homes featuring fully equipped kitchens, bathrooms, and technical facilities, all while preserving Woodcab's core DNA: contemporary design, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail. Today, the workshop, which spans nearly 1,000 m², employs around ten team members, including engineers, architects, carpenters, interns, and garden specialists. We welcome you to our showroom-workshop in Braine-le-Château every day by appointment. We also host open house events in showcase gardens across Belgium and France.

Philosophy
Sustainability
WOODCAB is a totally circular product.
Moveable, it can have many lives.
Dismountable and assembled without glue, it is entirely reusable in other WOODCAB's or in other new construction cycles.
After their reuse, the different materials we use can be 100% recycled into wood fibre. We use PEFC certified European wood. 100% renewable, it requires 5x less raw material and 4x less energy than concrete.
Thanks to our light foundation system (foundation screws), WOODCAB does not use concrete.
Simplicity
Desire for simplicity is at the heart of the WOODCAB philosophy. Our prices are transparent, without intermediate costs, and the quotes are personalised. Payments can be deferred or split thanks to our leasing offer. WOODCAB cabins do not require heavy foundations or complex connections. The prefabrication in the workshop guarantees a control over the execution and reduces dependence on climate variability. WOODCAB can be installed on any terrain and moved without a trace. In case of resale, we recondition your cabin to put it back on the second hand market.
Quality
All throughout the project, we have involved the best experts in the design and development of WOODCAB cabins. Built entirely of wood, they take advantage of the ecological benefits, acoustics, warmth, and lightness of the material. Combined with large windows open to the outside, the wood frame creates spaces bathed in natural light. Inside, the perforated panels allow for flexible and adaptable furniture.
Modularity
WOODCAB cabins are modular and adaptable to various needs. 5 types of modules means a large number of combinations, customizable on all sides. Your modular arrangement gives your WOODCAB a unique character and fits into many installation contexts.
