Timber construction with prefabricated timber elements

The load-bearing walls and floor slabs arrive on the construction site as prefabricated elements, so they not only have the supporting structure, but also the insulation, cladding, windows and, in some cases, the electrical installation integrated. Due to the use of glulam for walls and floor slabs, and thus a planar construction, modern timber construction could even be considered a form of "solid construction". The floor slabs span as single elements from outer wall to outer wall, with the number of interior walls determining the number of load-bearing axes and, consequently, the structural continuity.

Mix of subsidised and privately financed housing

Thanks to the high quality of the floor plans, both subsidised and privately financed flats can be stacked and accommodated within a single building. At the same time, four flats per staircase corridor create a strong sense of community and foster close-knit neighbourly connections.

The design of the houses results in a relatively small surface area in proportion to their volume, ensuring that they are minimally affected by cold or heat. Solar-control glazing and curtains provide additional protection against excessive heat.

Thanks to the compact design, all flats have sufficient depth to accommodate kitchens and bathrooms at their core. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow pleasant natural daylight to enter the heart of the spaces. An integrated, warm conservatory with particularly large opening wings can be used as a loggia or room in a climatic buffer zone. This makes it possible to live not only close to nature but also in an energy-efficient manner.
