Last week Häring received a delegation from the Royal Academy in Switzerland and presented our factories in Eiken and Burgdorf. The aim was to prepare the joinery and assembly work for the new multi-purpose hall - but above all to ensure that glulam can be a material and energy-efficient method of construction in Bhutan.

A cosy, ecologically sustainable community of six detached, timber family homes. Instead of being lined up in a row, the buildings are arranged in a natural pattern. This group of privately owned houses with gardens has a shared open space at its heart and communal parking areas. The buildings are carefully arranged to create differently accented spaces in between. Neighbours can interact and socialise in the shared open space at the heart of the community. Two houses have already been sold.
