Baumschulareal development

The project
The Baumgarten development in Küttigen, built by ERNE Immo AG, comprises 143 apartments and 20 terraced single-family houses on the former Hauenstein tree nursery site. The project is divided into three building plots with different house types. Timbatec played a key role in two of these types and was responsible for the comprehensive site planning work for the five M-buildings and the three Z-buildings along the thoroughfare. Thanks to the dedicated cooperation of all those involved, the shell and facades were completed on schedule and without incident.

The construction method
The architectural language of the rental and owner-occupied residential concepts is different and unique in form, design and color. Thanks to the wide range of offers, different residential target groups are addressed. The choice of materials is identical for all offers: Hybrid buildings with exterior walls and facades made of wood. By using wood as a sustainable material, the concept pays tribute to the character of the former tree nursery site.

The challenge
Due to the appealing and challenging building geometry, precise modeling was essential. The facade cladding was modeled 1:1 on the facade elements and prefabricated in detail at the plants of ERNE AG Holzbau and HUSNER AG Holzbau.
