Great solutions often lie beyond convention. So, the client’s requirement was to create a building with two barrier-free usage units – but not in common default like concrete and bricks – it should be design as a mass timber construction. The office unit is mainly facing the street with a separate entrance, while the private living area is oriented to the opposite side. The solution is a compact solid-timber building that offers all users the greatest possible of freedom and privacy. Inside the building, wood gives the design a relaxed feel, adding warmth with its subtle variation in tone and texture. The result is a low energy building that reflects the goals of the company in its commitment to the environment.
