Praise from the jury
The new construction of the production hall for an industrial company in Waldenburg illustrates the performance, the aesthetic potential and the innovative strength of modern timber construction. In order to ensure the required flexibility of the production processes, the supports in the 114 x 96.5 m, 12m high hall were reduced to a minimum. This created the world’s largest roof structure made of beech laminated veneer wood with spans of 40m and 42m. A shining example of contemporary industrial architecture: resource-efficient, sustainable and beautiful. [Holzbau-Campaign BW, 2022]
