Stendaler Strasse, Berlin

Small but well thought-out.

Every generation leaves its mark on its cities. In Berlin, residential concepts are increasingly emerging that focus on compact floor plans and efficient use of space.
A seven-storey mixed-use residential and commercial building, constructed using a hybrid timber construction method, is currently being built on Stendaler Straße in Berlin-Moabit. The design is by AHM Architekten BDA. The building comprises retail space on the ground floor, as well as small office units and flats on the upper floors.

The approximately 30 residential units, ranging in size from 30 to 45 square metres, fall into the category of micro-flats. ZÜBLIN Timber is responsible for the design, production and installation of the LENO® cross-laminated timber elements for walls, ceilings and the roof, as well as the curtain-wall timber façade.

Three-storey wall elements, amongst other things, were designed to provide structural bracing for the building. In addition to steel components, timber-to-timber connections using FSH brackets with oak dowels are employed for the component joints.

As with many construction projects in inner-city settings, the limited space places high demands on construction logistics and execution. The prefabrication of the timber elements enables precise planning and coordinated assembly processes on site.
