A residential building steeped in family tradition

After eight and a half months of construction, a three-storey apartment building housing five apartments was built on the site of a former barn. Not only does this provide a new home for the client and his parents, there’s also space to rent out in the additional apartments.

The newly constructed apartment building contains two 4.5-room apartments, two 2.5-room apartments, a studio, eight basements and a garage. Above the concrete basement level, there are two full floors and the attic, spanning a total surface area of 900 m2. Composite timber and concrete elements were used for the ceilings.

The apartment building is designed as a high-quality structure incorporating timber frames and 300 mm of external insulation. 200 m3 of local timber was used in the apartment building: spruce for the supporting structures and fir (laid vertically) in the facade. In keeping with the sustainable construction method, the client opted for a solar installation in combination with a heat pump with a geothermal probe to meet the building’s energy needs.

Timber sets standards both inside and out – here, for example, it is used as flooring and decking.
