Free-form surfaces

Fascinating, free-form load-bearing structures and envelope structures form the basis of impressive timber buildings that invite you to marvel. Some of these constructions seem almost impossible.

The free-forms made of wood impress with their complexity and are characterized by the high individuality of the individual components. Our references speak for themselves and show ideas for solutions for your next project.

Special formwork construction

Outstanding architectural designs require the construction industry to constantly break new ground in project realization and to use state-of-the-art planning and construction tools.

Parametric modelling, BIM technologies and advanced manufacturing processes enable the potential of reinforced concrete construction to be fully exploited.
