This entire additional penthouse storey measuring approx. 1,150 m² was constructed using our modular timber construction method. The load-bearing structure consists of laminate timber beams resting on concrete columns. The roof is covered by a canopy of insulated timber modules. The underside of the ceilings has an acoustic base made from mineral wool covered with black acoustic fleece. In addition to the structural work on the supports and the roof, we installed triple-glazed wooden and metal windows made from larch and installed thermal ash floor gratings in the courtyards.
