In constructional terms, it is clearly subdivided into three parts, namely a central area made of reinforced concrete, which houses atriums, circulation, common areas and ancillary functions, and east- and west-oriented zones with a total of 78 care rooms attached on both sides. In the area of the nursery, a second cross-laminated timber ceiling has been arranged above the modules for load distribution purposes. The roof is constructed as a hollow box ceiling. The nursery consists of planar cross-laminated timber elements and is located on the uppermost level, with its own access from the road. The load-bearing structure of the central zone comprises a reinforced concrete skeleton with projecting ceilings on both sides, which form the access zones. The care room modules have a floor space of 3.79 x 7.60 m. The cross-laminated timber in the rooms has been left exposed. Floor-to-ceiling fixed glazing provides a visual link from the bathroom to the care room. The modules were entirely prefabricated, including the furnishings, while the modular timber facade was retrospectively installed. The project is characterised by its intensive local reference, and demonstrates the architectural-constructional potential of hybrid construction methods with respect to timber room modules and wide-span, reinforced concrete skeletons in an exemplary manner.
