CIRCULAR COMPACTION IN TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

CIRCULAR COMPACTION IN TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

Project Phases 1–5 - In collaboration with weberbrunner architects, we are developing a circular infill development for inner-city gaps consisting of a front building and a garden house, which integrates sensitively into the existing context and creates new qualities of living. Reuse components, a consistent timber frame structure, as well as flexible floor plans and open spaces combine resource conservation, adaptability, and a balanced relationship between community and privacy.

Project Phases 1–9 • The material concept of circular building operates in the range between "using something as it is" and "upcycling". In terms of aesthetics, we consciously want to dispel preconceptions about second-hand design. Despite the use of diverse materials, there is a strong focus on a clear-cut, homogeneous and high-quality design.
