Project idea

The development of the shape of the building was influenced by the environment influenced. It is a place where currently as high-rise buildings could be built in the future. It will also tries to further develop the jump in height of the Kennedydamm. The simple shape of the building has the advantage of being clear and simple structural structure.
An important point of the project is the choice of materials. That The design concept aims to use wood as a representative building material to be used for building construction. Also the good functionality and a cozy atmosphere should result from it as positive properties result. The basement, ground floor, first floor and the building core use reinforced concrete as the load-bearing material. Of the Reinforced concrete core stabilizes the entire supporting structure. The structural supports and the wooden beams are made of glued laminated timber and were used on all floors. The floors are planned as a wood-concrete composite system and are supported by steel profiles connected to the building core and the columns.
