The project
The company Trinova Nutrition Holding AG has grown strongly in the past. The previous company headquarters became too cramped and had to be replaced. The new office building consists of 4 full floors above ground. Three floors and an attic floor form the structure with a slightly protruding staircase. The new building was constructed from Swiss timber using a prefabricated construction method. Timbatec was also responsible for the sound insulation.
The construction
The entire building, including the staircase, was planned as a timber frame construction. The core was made of CLT panels, the floor slabs of horizontal glulam.
The challenge
Due to the soft foundation soil, large forces had to be applied in the event of an earthquake. Combined with the continuous window strips, the bracing had to be solved using a prestressed core made of CLT panels.
