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.

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
In the new terminal of Oslo International Airport, five pavilions have been built to accommodate stores and subdivide the space. Each pavilion is an individual free form. The substructure for the exterior and interior cladding was made of wood. Frames made of laminated veneer timber form the main supporting structure of the individual pavilions. These are milled on the top and underside, thus giving them their shape. This allows the inner and outer cladding to be attached directly to the wood.

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.

Project description
The publishing house Tamedia AG commissioned the construction of a new building and an extension at its headquarters in the centre of Zurich. The new building consists of a seven-storey office building with a visible wooden structure. Its supporting structure is unique and was developed especially for this building. A remarkable feature is that the 21 m-long supports extend from the ground floor to the 5th floor and that no metal brackets were used for the joints. Beech plywood dowels were used for the joints. Additionally, the posts and ties are also reinforced with beech plywood dowels. These dowels are not visible from the outside.
