The most innovative bio-constructionstarts in the South
From the heart of Calabria, in the Serre Regional Park, we design, manufacture and build bio-construction buildings with the X-Frame construction system. A Timber Processing Centre authorised by the Italian Ministry of Public Works.
Year founded
Days to assemble the structure
Years of structural warranty
Technologies in one system
Few homes, but perfect ones
EcoLive S.r.l. was founded in 1999 in the heart of Calabria. Years of research and development led to a unique approach to bio-construction: tailored quality, not mass production.
The result is the X-Frame system: a proprietary hybrid combining Platform Frame, X-Lam and Post & Beam. Not a simple timber home, but a work of engineering and craftsmanship.
Our facility is an authorised Timber Processing Centre under the Italian Ministry of Public Works: the only business in Southern Italy that manages the entire cycle, from design to construction.

The future starts with Calabrian timber
We are not chasing volume: we are chasing excellence. Every EcoLive home is a tailored project, built to measure with the utmost artisan care.
Calabria has extraordinary forests. Our vision is to build a local Calabrian timber supply chain that enhances this heritage and creates skilled jobs in the region.
“Tailored, artisan. Every home is a masterpiece.”
