In Bergen erect HIGHEST HOUSE OF WOOD
50 meters in height by only three base plate. Residential house is an unusual design.
It was considered a huge number of options before approving the final design of the building, which is designing the company `NTI` and `Sweco`. As the supporting structure is used glulam column. Then they will install prefabricated modules apartments. A total of 20 modules are installed between the glulam columns.
This decision was taken due to the fact that the timber can withstand more stress along the grain than across it.
The organization decided to use laminated wood, which was also used at the Olympic Games in Lillehammer 19 years ago and has since become widely used in the construction of wooden bridges. Wooden structure can not withstand the humid climate, so we decided to glaze a balcony on two sides of the building. The remaining sides are protected with steel plates, thus visually clear that the construction of wood.
