As a central point of attraction, an architectural jewel attracts. Built in a nature-conserving manner, the barrier-free treetop path, which is mainly made of wood, offers visitors a unique experience of the local forest. The path meanders at approximately the same height through the terrain to be explored. The entire path is secured with a steel railing on both sides with a wooden handrail. The skillful guided tour of the site opens up perspectives of the enchanting landscape panorama of the Neckertal.

Project description
The timber frame arched bridge is made of glued larch wood. The self-supporting structure spans 38 meters and is mounted on concrete supports with micro piles. The roof consists of a textile membrane. A 500-ton mobile crane was used for the assembly of the 40-ton bridge. Moving the bridge to perfectly sit on the previously installed steel supports took 15 minutes. The new bridge over the Glatt river is accessible for disabled pedestrians, hikers and cyclists. It was officially inaugurated on 2 July 2016 and hand-ed over to the city of Opfikon.

Specialist planner for timber construction: from preliminary project planning to implementation

Year of construction
2013-2014

Project description
A new hotel wing was added to an existing hotel complex. The client opted for a hybrid structure: the basement floors were cast in concrete and the floors above were made of wood. The modern new building is impressive, with very pleasant ambient climate in the hotel rooms and excellent sound insulation. Thanks to its wooden design, Hotel Säntispark has become an absolute oasis of well-being.
It is the first four-storey hotel to be made of wood in the canton of St. Gallen.

Project description
The roof structure resembles a bamboo leaf. The 5,000 m² area of the building was planned and manufactured entirely in Switzerland. The low cantilevered canopies posed a great challenge, which was amplified by the fact that the canopies had to be transported by container and therefore required many joints.

• Structural analysis

Project description

The supporting structure of the new building consists of a sophisticated frame construction, which in turn is composed of several layers of Kerto panels. The challenge in this project consisted, on the one hand, of the reduction of waste and optimisation of panel utilisation and, on the other hand, in the small cross-sections, which presented us with challenges regarding the creation of joints and compliance with crosssection requirements.
