Joseph Foundation, Bayreuth

The Joseph Foundation built 23 rental flats using a hybrid timber construction method at 23 Von-Helmholtz-Straße in Bayreuth. The project focused on creating affordable housing.

ZÜBLIN’s Bayreuth division was responsible for the implementation of the entire project. ZÜBLIN Timber produced and supplied mass-produced prefabricated timber external wall elements for this purpose.

The ground floor of the four-storey building was constructed using conventional solid construction methods with exposed concrete. Non-load-bearing timber structures with a timber façade were used on the upper storeys.
A hybrid timber construction concept was chosen for the project, combining elements of timber construction with conventional building methods. The building is complemented by a pellet heating system. Furthermore, the BEG-55-EE standard was adopted as the energy efficiency target.

In hybrid timber construction, different building materials are used according to their respective properties. Among other things, this combination can enable a high degree of prefabrication and, depending on the project, offers advantages in terms of the construction process, planning and cost-effectiveness.
