More and more large buildings are being built with timber as a renewable building material. Timbatec is a leading, innovative company in this growing future market. We construct multi-story buildings, industrial buildings and bridges in timber. And we develop modern timber construction products according to individual requirements.
A new district will be built on the former Sulzerareal Plant 1 in Winterthur in the next decade. As the first residential building of the new quarter, the house, Krokodil, is built, a timber construction with most different forms of living.
The municipality of Zweisimmen in the Bernese Oberland will receive a new market and event hall with integrated fire station, which will be constructed as a pure wooden building. Since the end of August, arched girders weighing tons, which will support the hall roof, have been transported to Zweisimmen.
Last week, the new Wühribrücke bridge in the Bernese Oberland was inaugurated with a celebration. The timber bridge, which connects the two communities of Teuffenthal and Horrenbach near Thun, replaces the old concrete bridge.
With the House of Switzerland made of Timber, the House of Switzerland officially represents the country at major international events. The timber house was designed in 2014 by Spillmann Echsle Architects from Zurich for the Swiss Foreign Ministry. Now a book is dedicated to the mobile house, where Timbatec was responsible for the timber construction.
Since mid-July, children have again been romping around the playground Buchholz in Zurich Witikon. The completely renovated playground was built exclusively of beech timber. The playground has revolutionary character, since up to now only very rarely are beech buildings built in the open air.
Two new buildings on the Lange Heid school grounds in Münchenstein BL have recently been completed, and the topping-out ceremony will soon be celebrated. Both buildings are predominantly made of wood: with the exception of the building cores, most of the two school buildings are made of natural building materials.
The Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) is looking for patrons and new members. For this purpose, a special brochure was prepared. The Lämmerenhütte, in whose extension Timbatec played a major role, is prominently presented.
In Vienna 17 a real life dream in wood construction in the green with 54 housing units will be developed. Construction will start in early 2018. The structural design for the 4 point houses with 4 stories each comes from Timbatec. The staircases and lift shafts are also designed in wood construction.
Timbatec Timber Construction Engineers GmbH was responsible for the structural design and detailed statics of the music pavilion in Kirchdorf. After intensive preparation and planning of the building, the plans for this impressive pavilion were drawn up. The pavilion, about six meters high at its highest point, impresses with its unique design and makes the community of Kirchdorf appear even more interesting due to its extraordinary appearance.
The building material wood is back in the cities. As late as the 20th century, wooden buildings had practically disappeared from urban space. Today, however, 100 meter high wooden buildings are already being constructed. The magazine "bauRundschau" presents five pioneering timber construction projects.
