The space for time
The room module is a living space
Modular construction is not about efficiently stacking spatial units. Rather, it is about thinking further about spatial cohesion – creating this elementary, three-dimensional living space – from the home to the city in which we move every day. It is the play space in daycare centres, the educational space in schools and student accommodation, the living space in residential complexes, the working space in offices, the living space in health and care facilities. The main characteristic of such prefabricated room modules is their open structure. And openness is always a key that can open many doors.
Various areas of application at a glance
Working environments are changing rapidly. Modular timber construction has many answers to these complex planning tasks. Timber modules are combined to form an open skeleton structure and then offer maximum flexibility in use as open space or individual offices, team offices combined with meeting zones
We owe it to our children to create spaces in which they can feel comfortable and develop. Children who are already learning in our schools and kindergartens often talk about their tree house. This is evidence of a high feel-good factor. Modular timber construction offers excellent opportunities for this. The requirements for the utilisation and room concepts are largely the same.
This enables planning with a high degree of standardisation in the form of a modular system, which is then individually configured for the local conditions. Standardisation significantly reduces the planning time and serial prefabrication considerably shortens construction times, so that children can learn happily earlier.
Whereas a few years ago student residences were still dull mass accommodation for students, new developments show hip concepts with plenty of space for community in a stylish ambience, but also plenty of privacy for intensive study. Modular timber construction can help investors and operators to develop the right product for this young generation, even in the face of growing awareness of the issues of climate and change.
Modular timber construction offers the architects complete freedom with open room modules in the communal areas and closed room modules in the rooms. Each room consists of a module, so that maximum factory prefabrication including all surfaces and fixtures such as bathrooms and furniture is possible. The advantage of faster commissioning for investors through massively reduced construction time in the highest quality is obvious.
Demographic change and the megatrend of urbanisation are challenging the housing industry. More living space is urgently needed. One solution is certainly modular timber construction. However, it requires a rethink on the part of the players. Away from prototyping and towards more standardisation for the rapid serial implementation of residential construction projects. The only way to quickly create high-quality living space is not to reinvent buildings from scratch every time, but to define them as a recurring type product.
In order to be able to offer affordable housing, the amount of space required per resident must be reduced, which has a positive effect on affordable rents. And incidentally, residential buildings in modular timber construction contribute to achieving climate targets. The high degree of prefabrication with complete interior fittings not only improves the quality of construction, but also significantly shortens the construction time. And finally, timber-built homes create a particularly cosy and healthy indoor climate for the occupants.
The market for hotel properties in major cities is highly competitive and growing steadily. New concepts and brands are emerging as guests seek and appreciate more individuality and something special. For investors and operators, modular timber construction offers the best opportunities for differentiation and the creation of a unique product. In particular, the interior design with visible wooden surfaces, combined with modern furnishings, creates a special experience for guests.
Modular timber construction offers the architects complete freedom with open room modules in the communal areas and closed room modules in the guest room area. Each room consists of a module, so that maximum factory prefabrication including all surfaces and fixtures such as bathrooms and furniture is possible. The advantage of faster commissioning for investors through massively reduced construction time in the highest quality is obvious.
Social properties such as healthcare and nursing homes have the highest demands on the well-being of the residents. And this is exactly where wood as a building material comes into play. Wood regulates the indoor climate in a natural way. Wood smells good, feels good and ensures a pleasant, healthy indoor climate. Wood has a sound-absorbing and antibacterial effect, has an antistatic and therefore dust-reducing effect and regulates the indoor climate in a natural way. With its health-promoting properties, modular timber construction is ideally suited for social properties.
Modular timber construction offers architects complete freedom with open room modules in the communal areas and closed room modules in the rooms. Each room consists of one or two modules, so that maximum factory prefabrication including all surfaces and fixtures such as bathrooms and furnishings is possible. The advantage of faster commissioning for investors through massively reduced construction time in the highest quality is obvious.
