STRUCTURE and construction

The structural grid was designed based on architectural and intention to minimize the material use. Glue laminated timber was the chosen over timber structure due to longer spans which allowed for more open floorplans. 

​

Beams and columns are almost entirely placed in the interior in order to minimize the maintenance needs. Columns are exposed in the interior while the beams are covered by the ceiling. Structural elements are positioned in a way to minimize the acoustic discomfort and vibrations. 

​

Construction of the buildings is made easy due to simple connections and lightweight structure this heavily reduces the required manpower and time of assembly which in turn reduces the costs. Timber constructions also produce less waste on site further contributing to the sustainability. 

​

Buildings, for the most part, can be prefabricated and brought to the site making the construction time even lower and due to the largest element being under 10 meters transportation is made easy as well.
