Vienna meets Vancouver

An extraordinary project is currently under construction in Vienna-Donaustadt: Vancouver House - a joint venture between the property developer Frieden and the Canadian Wood Council. A total of 107 modern rental apartments, a kindergarten and attractive commercial premises are being built. At the same time, Vienna House is being built in Canada - an architectural bridge across the Atlantic.

• Our Timber Construction department played a key role in shaping the project in Vienna:
  System changeover from cross-laminated timber walls to timber frame walls: the cleverly chosen constructions not only save material, but also CO₂ - without compromising on quality or design.
   
• Structural measures for load transfer via visible load-bearing axes: The load-bearing structure was planned and executed in such a way that timber elements remain visible - without compromising on the statics.
