HAINWERK, a modern office and commercial building constructed using hybrid timber construction methods, is being built in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The general contractor is Adolf Lupp GmbH + Co. KG, which has commissioned HESS TIMBER to deliver the timber construction. Flexible working environments with plenty of daylight are being created on several floors. Green terraces and a roof garden create additional quality of life. The project will use 710 m³ of glued laminated timber and 3,200 m³ of cross-laminated timber from the HASSLACHER group. The supporting structure is designed as a hybrid construction of timber and concrete. The beams are made entirely of timber. The floor slabs will be constructed as timber-concrete composites.
Sustainability and quality of work
The use of large quantities of wood means that a significant proportion of the CO2 bound in the construction is permanently stored. This supports the project’s ambitious sustainability goals. At the same time, the visible wood structure creates a warm, pleasant atmosphere and a comfortable indoor climate. Combined with extensive greening of terraces and roof areas, this creates a working environment that convincingly combines ecological responsibility, economic efficiency and a high level of user comfort.
Services from HESS TIMBER
HESS TIMBER supports HAINWERK from the early concept phase right through to the construction site. The scope of services ranges from consulting and timber construction planning to project management and the production of load-bearing timber components. These include glued laminated timber beams and cross-laminated timber elements for the timber-concrete composite ceilings. HESS TIMBER also takes care of logistical planning, component delivery and on-site assembly. All steps are coordinated, which reduces interfaces and enables an orderly process.
Timber construction in an urban context
The location at a busy intersection, the sophisticated architecture and the required spans place special demands on timber construction. HESS TIMBER develops suitable solutions for this based on glulam and cross-laminated timber. Precise planning and a high degree of prefabrication support rapid construction in an inner-city environment. The timber beams and ceiling structures are prepared in such a way that they can be assembled quickly while reliably meeting the structural and building physics requirements.
