(B) Project text
Ref. DWG A-611
The office building uses a timber-hybrid structure: concrete cores and ground floor, with cross-laminated timber floors and glulam columns above.
The façade is a grid of black aluminium and white glass panels. The rhythm changes from floor to floor depending on the depth of the plan behind it, so the façade works as a diagram of the building’s interior.
Energy
The building meets the Passive House standard. Heating and cooling come from 22 geothermal wells under the courtyard.
