MFH Schönberg East, Bern
2013
The four-story wooden building stands on the eastern outskirts of Bern. Thanks to recesses and inwardly offset balconies, small areas are created that make the object with dimensions of 37 x 16 x 12 m appear smaller and break up the silhouette.

Four of the apartments extend from the second floor to the attic. The property fits into a new development of seven different properties, which nevertheless form an appealing unit in their entirety.
The construction
The walls are timber frame construction, with local reinforcements according to the force flows. The floor slabs are wood-concrete composite slabs. The facades were clad with ceramic panels.
