Building H8 is an eight-story wooden house that was built in 2011 in the Upper Bavarian town of Bad Aibling . Together with the E3 building in Berlin, it is one of the tallest wooden buildings in Germany.

construction

The building was designed as a timber panel construction in a frame construction. The construction was created in cooperation with the Munich architecture firm Schankula, regional companies, the Technical University of Munich and the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences . When designing the class 5 structure , the wooden construction required particularly high requirements for fire protection, statics and noise protection.

For reasons of fire protection, the stairwell had to be built using reinforced concrete. Otherwise, the house was built from prefabricated wooden log stud walls. The cladding of the facade was interrupted by a metal bracket on each floor to prevent fire from spreading through the facade.

The height of the building is 25 m. It houses condominiums and offices, the usable area is 803 m ² .

history

The Bad Aibling Station (also known as Field Station 81), used by the secret service, was located on the site until 2004 . After the facility was closed, the area was redesigned to an ecologically oriented district ( zero-energy city Mietraching ). Based on experience with somewhat smaller wooden high-rise buildings such as the neighboring four-storey H4, the building H8 was planned and executed by the construction company B&O Housing Industry as an exemplary new building project.

The construction system used for H8 and the neighboring buildings of the “City of Wood” was awarded the recognition prize of the German Timber Construction Prize in 2013.
