The cross-laminated timber elements designed by ATP form part of the roof structure above the sales and catering area. The structure is designed as a point-supported flat slab with a thickness of almost 10 in. As a result, the downstand and upstand beams commonly used in timber construction are no longer necessary, resulting in a flat ceiling view from below.
The omission of these beams was made possible by two innovations that ATP skillfully combined: a connection and reinforcement system called "Spider Connector" (by Rothoblaas Srl) and a special gluing of joints using a two-component adhesive made of polyurethane cast resin (by Timber Structures 3.0 AG).
The trading company's new building has a gross floor area of 50,784 ft2 and is divided functionally and visually into two building parts. The warehouse and production are on the ground floor; on the upper floor are offices, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and a sales and catering area, including a fully equipped kitchen. Vertically oriented inside timber cladding combined with glass fronts in the sales area were installed in the upper floor.
