A company building is currently being constructed in Cologne for a company that works in the international distribution of plastics and elastomers. The new building, with an underground car park, ground-level storage areas, and offices above, is characterized by its high flexibility of use on a minimal building area. KIELSTEG wooden roof elements also make a valuable contribution to space efficiency. The lightweight and high-load-bearing elements are predestined for use as a Roof structure for large spans to support the free use of the rooms below. The elements also impress with their slim design – with a construction height of only 37 cm, they span the required 16.5 meters as a roof structure. They enabled the planners to realize the overall building height within the requirements. The uncladet, distinctive striped surface of the KIELSTEG components also makes a formal contribution to the perception of the interior spaces. The new building was designed by Wendling Architektur in Cologne.
