The project
The object is located next to a sawmill. In an initial inquiry, only a roof truss in wood was required. Later, the client decided to build a modern, multi-storey wooden structure.
The construction method
The walls were erected in timber frame construction. A rear-ventilated, opaquely painted T-strip formwork serves as the outer skin. The ceilings were constructed as simple beam layers - a construction method that has been somewhat forgotten in view of the new, numerous ceiling systems, but is very economical.
