Project Info
The biophilic design elements of the timber interior bring light and warmth to the space. Particularly noteworthy is the architectural concept of KLH® – CLT, which not only creates an aesthetic dimension but also a sustainable one. The project was optimized through a hybrid approach to the structure, combining insulated tilt-up concrete panels with a mass timber gravity frame. The integration of KLH® – CLT not only provides functional benefits but also creates a harmonious connection between nature and architecture.
