Garage completely made of wood

In Geissholzli in the picturesque Bernese Oberland, the different epochs of timber construction meet. The Maurer family home from 1997 was built in log construction (Fleckenbau) and shows the proven carpenter's art. This includes good structural wood protection with the large canopy. The wood on the facade ages evenly and has a beautiful patina. The structures of the walls and ceilings are protected from moisture and are built to last forever.

In front of this house are used the latest technologies: Cross-laminated timber panels and TS3 technology are used to create the floor slab and base walls of a garage, which stands in the ground on three sides. Thanks to several protective layers and moisture monitoring, wood can now be used in contact with the ground. For a long time, this was considered impossible. The combination of innovations from the fields of timber construction and flat roofs makes the new area of application possible. TS3 technology combines the CLT panels to form a stable monocoque box, various protective layers protect it - just like a flat roof, simply reversed and installed in the ground.
