The project
The single-family house is located in a rural area of Fribourg-Mittelland. The wooden house has no basement and stands on a foundation slab. The house consists of one floor and a screed. The exterior facade consists of a wood fiber board with an exterior plaster. The entire house was completely prefabricated and after only 4 months of construction the building was ready for occupancy.
The construction
The carport attached to the side, also a wooden structure, contains a world first - because here the TS 3.0 ceiling system developed by Timbatec was used for the first time. A wooden panel (size 6 x 8 m) forms the roof here.
The slab, which consisted of 3 individual parts, was joined and glued together as a whole on the construction site. Thus, this plate carries 2-axis, equal to a concrete ceiling. The load tests that were carried out confirmed the results of the structural design.
