MFH Wiesengrund, Küsnacht ZH
2013
The MFH Wiesengrund is a new four-story building with four exclusive apartments in Küsnacht. It is the first apartment building in the canton of Zurich with the Minergie-A label ZH-001.
The project
The execution The building is constructed in a hybrid construction method with a solid staircase core and floor slabs in concrete as well as load-bearing exterior walls in prefabricated timber construction. The retracted attic floor is constructed entirely in wood. All interior walls are constructed in dry construction, thus allowing the greatest possible flexibility for future usage requirements.
The construction
The details The load-bearing exterior walls in wood consist of adhesive-free solid wood panels 150 mm thick. These also take over the vertical load transfer from the concrete floors. The outer insulation layer consists of an insulated cross-laminated timber grid, each 120 mm thick, and is covered with a DHF board. The elements were prefabricated in such a way that they each already integrated the face formwork for the concrete slab and the support for the wall above. The facade consists of a rear-ventilated, large-format mineral panel (Rockpanel), which was subsequently installed on site.
