With six storeys made of wood, complemented by a variety of uses including offices, flats and communal areas, the Haus des Holzes impressively demonstrates the potential of modern timber construction. The entire construction, apart from the basement, is made of Swiss timber, 94 per cent of which comes from local forests. The building material grows back within just 80 minutes, a strong testament to the ecological sustainability of regional resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Circular thinking consistently implemented Digital methods as a driver for efficiency Regulatory freedom as an innovation<\/span> advantage Global pioneering role in view The Haus des Holzes in Sursee sets new standards in timber construction. It combines sustainable materials, digital planning and modular construction in one building. It is an exemplary combination of ecological responsibility and technological innovation and opens up new perspectives for the construction and timber industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12489,22698,22433],"tags":[13693,12564,12525,12526,12847,12528,15586],"class_list":["post-132027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-construction","category-sustainability","category-trends-en","tag-holzbau-en","tag-immobilien-en","tag-immoinvest-en","tag-immonews-en","tag-nachhaltigkeit-en","tag-news-en","tag-planung-en","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":{"bild_mit_ki_erstellt_worden":[],"lead":"The Haus des Holzes in Sursee sets new standards in timber construction.

<\/strong>The building is designed in such a way that future generations can dismantle it and reuse the building elements used. This recyclability is a key innovation<\/span> driver for companies in the timber and construction industry, making sustainability tangible in practice and increasingly asserting itself as a sales argument to a climate-conscious clientele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>A special feature of the project is the consistent use of digital planning methods. The entire building was modelled, planned and implemented using building information modelling. Tradesmen worked directly with digital models on mobile devices, an approach that raises the use of materials, construction coordination and efficiency to a new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Switzerland offers an ideal environment for progress in timber construction with practical training, material-independent fire protection standards and flexible SIA<\/span> guidelines. These framework conditions enable engineers to develop creative solutions that would be held back by rigid standards elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The project sees itself as a driving force for the international future of timber construction. With expertise, innovative spirit and the intelligent use of digital tools, Switzerland is positioning itself as a global trendsetter<\/span>. This is also evident in the largest ongoing project, the planned Dock A at Zurich Airport, where Pirmin Jung Switzerland is playing a key role in the timber-based planning.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
