Wood hybrid construction with know-how

„Own expertise flowed into the realization,“ says Albrecht Pfeiffer, managing director of A. Pfeiffer Zimmerei GmbH and master carpenter. „The design was created by my wife and co-owner as well as freelance architect Kerstin Geiger-Pfeiffer. Our employees manufactured the wall elements in timber frame construction in our own production. They then erected the wooden structure, consisting of the prefabricated timber frame and solid wood elements, on the construction site on location.“ In addition to load-bearing exterior and interior walls, the supporting structure consists of timber-concrete hybrid decks of the upper floors above the ground floor. Fischer screws connect the load-bearing glued laminated timber decks with the composite concrete topping. The stairwell and the basement are made of reinforced concrete. At the top is a glued laminated timber ceiling, which is equipped with pitched ceiling insulation, a bitumen waterproofing layer, gravel covering, and a photovoltaic system.

The basic construction for the facade fastening was the proven wall brackets ATK 100 Minor. The ATK 103 was installed on this distance substructure to attach ceramic tiles from the porcelain stoneware specialist Mirage invisibly using clamps and undercut anchors. The wall brackets of the ATK 100 were statically designed and permanently securely fastened with fischer SXR 10 x 60 FUS long shaft dowels. They are made of high-quality nylon with pre-assembled fischer hexagon screws and molded washers. Due to the low anchoring depth of only 50 millimeters, the SXR could be processed very economically when multiple fastening of the VHF substructure was required.
