Wood has success

The Tages-Anzeiger reports on the new Eschenberg Forestry Center in Winterthur. This extraordinary timber construction project makes extensive use of locally sourced materials: Over 95 percent of the wood used in the building comes from the city’s own forest—designed by roosarchitekten and Timbatec.

Four projects featuring engineering services provided by Timbatec were recognized at the «best architects 27 award.» The award-winning buildings in Baar, Zurich, and Ittigen showcase the breadth of sophisticated timber construction design—from a mega-timber truss spanning 35 meters to the careful renovation of historic structures.

For the past ten years, Simon Huser has been contributing his extensive knowledge of timber construction and his passion for innovative hybrid construction methods to Timbatec. As a project manager, he oversees challenging projects with technical expertise, foresight, and a clear focus on quality, costs, and deadlines.

Twenty years, numerous projects, and many shared successes: Our photo gallery showcases milestones that have shaped our Zurich location and helped shape Timbatec’s development. A heartfelt thank you to our customers and business partners—we look forward to many more projects together.

Two projects involving Timbatec Holzbauingenieure have been nominated for the Swiss Arc Award: the Wiesental School in Baar and the Buchholzstrasse residential development in Zurich. The nomination recognizes projects that set new standards in architecture, structural engineering, and execution. Show your support and vote now.

Combining structural engineering, building physics, and sustainability: With the start of earthwork and excavation, the official kickoff for the Pichlmühle in Nussdorf am Attersee has taken place. Now that the construction plans have been finalized, work is beginning on this forward-looking hotel and apartment project located right on the shores of Lake Attersee.
