Experimental building
The project brings knowledge on how to build a multi-storey house in wood for residential purposes with as little CO2 footprint as possible. At the same time, the project shows how the CO2 footprint can be reduced by developing new solutions that optimize wood's various properties.

Prefabrication
Combining the benefits of using a column/beam system with the use of prefabrication, our column wall elements make it possible to place a whole column row with one lift instead of four (and without adjusting various plasterboard walls afterwards). The ribbed decks developed for the project ensure, the beams are raised together with a thin CLT board and acoustic ceiling insulation with a finished plasterboard ceiling underneath. This way, it is ready for the upper floor construction and painting of the ceilings.

Constructive Protection of Facade
The roof overhang and sloping facade divisions effectively divert water away from the wooden-clad facade. Not only do they provide essential protection, but they also define the floor levels and contribute to a harmonious facade layout, breaking down the scale. Additionally, within the sloping facade division, there's an integrated horizontal fire stop for added safety measures.

Biobased decks provide great CO2 savings
Our ribbed deck with visible wooden beams and bio-based insulation paves the way for using deck elements with partially visible wooden beams in combination with bio-based insulation in multi-storey house constructions. 23 different combinations of biobased floor and ceiling build-ups have been tested to find the right solution for the project. This has led to a report (led by Artelia) showing that in the majority of the CLT- and ribbed deck solutions it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions up to 55-70 % in comparison to typical hollow-core slab solutions while complying with sound and fire requirements of the building regulations.
