New construction A Hüttlenen, Flühli

The project
The new construction of this apartment building in Flühli LU is a four-story timber structure with eight rental apartments and a spacious penthouse apartment that meets ownership standards. Characteristic features include the open floor plans and large window fronts, which allow plenty of light into the building. The client combines planning, timber construction expertise, and the procurement and production of the cross-laminated timber used in the building. The project was optimally tailored to the production possibilities of cross-laminated timber panels, both technically and economically, and consistently designed for maximum use of space.

The construction method
Everything above ground level—except for the stairwell—is constructed using timber. The exterior and interior walls and the floor slabs were constructed using solid cross-laminated timber (CLT). In the living areas and on the top floor, TS3 technology allows for large spans without joists. Local timber with the «Swiss Wood» label was used in the construction.

The challenge
The client not only planned the buildings, but also took on the construction work as a timber builder and produced the cross-laminated timber themselves. The entire project was optimized both technically and economically to match the capabilities of their own production facilities while maximizing the living space.
