MFH Tola, Saas-Fee
2013
In the middle of the village, in a prime location, an apartment building with 7 exclusive condominiums was built. Overheight rooms open the view on a chain of majestic snow mountains.
The project
The building is a hybrid construction of wood, steel and reinforced concrete. The floor slabs and load-bearing interior walls are mainly of solid construction. The building envelope consists mostly of timber frame elements. The balconies and the static wall panels (for load transfer from the canopy) are also realized in wood. The roof is supported by HEB 260 steel rafters. The rest of the roof structure is again made of wood.
The construction
The appearance of the building volume is characterized by selected, locally anchored materials, such as natural stones as roofing and a wooden shingle facade.
