When designing mass timber structures, the interplay between the overall concept and fine detailing takes center stage. The structure itself becomes an ornament, fulfilling both aesthetic and load-bearing roles. Our approach: we build tall, we build elegantly, and we build with a sense of circularity—resource-efficient and future-oriented.

Urban construction demands density, mixed program and greenery: mixed-use developments, green facades and roofs are just as essential as prefabricated and modular construction methods, which transform the building site into an assembly platform. Our goal is to use as little material as possible. The selection and comparison of structural and component variants is always interdisciplinary and holistic. Special focus is placed on analyzing both the structural system and the floor system, since about 30% of a building’s load-bearing structure is attributable to the floors.

The entire process—from design and detail through to fabrication, transport, and (dis-)assembly—is conceived integratively. Hybrid structural systems enable an optimal balance between material use, cost, and ecological responsibility. In doing so, we deliberately rely on natural and renewable materials, selecting the most suitable option for each position in the structure.

Hybrid systems, combined with simple and repetitive solutions, enable sustainable, economical, and aesthetically sophisticated buildings for the urban future.
