Four-storey timber construction in Freiburg

We are delighted to have won the competition and been awarded the contract in Freiburg!
The new four-storey office and lecture building for the Freiburg University of Education is embedded in the campus. The building's shape and height blend in between the student residence and the college building without jeopardising the tree population. Despite its solitary character, the new building demarcates the campus to the south and follows the building line along Kunzenweg through the building's offset.
The design has been consistently developed as a timber construction and benefits from the repetitive space allocation plan and the chosen geometric order. The outer walls comprise a timber frame construction and meet the standard of a passive house.
