Lignoalb office building, Bressanone/Italy

An expressive timber façade was placed in front of the cube-shaped office building with a load-bearing post-and-beam wall. The timber theme continues inside: the central entrance area, elevator shaft and staircase are made of cross-laminated timber. The façade elements are made of pressure-impregnated and kiln-dried laminated veneer lumber. The initial impetus for the creation of the façade was an ideas competition organized by the client in 2008. The efficiency aspect and conscious environmental friendliness should not be forgotten.
