Sports hall

kiel_admin — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 05:53:55 +0000

Šentilj is a small town in the northeast of Slovenia, on the border to Austria, with 8,452 inhabitants. The town has grown strongly in the last two decades, and this created the need to build the new sports and leisure centre. It is the biggest investment in the history of the community. The new building complex has a total of 2,290 m² floor area. This is divided between the central sports halls, with 1,400 m², and a three-storey block right next to them. This section contains the spectator galleries with space for 600 people, and on the other floors, changing rooms, sanitary facilities and utility rooms. A large multipurpose room on the first floor provides views of both the indoor sports halls and the outdoor playing fields. Outside terraces connect the building to the outdoor playing fields and a panoramic view by a balcony on the first floor. A central question that has to be solved in the design of any sports hall is how to build the roof over the hall. The structural solution for the roof is a determining factor for the overall height of the building, and has important implications for costs and compliance with planning regulations. The roof structure and its height also affect the volume of the space that can be used for games and also influence the visual perception of the space. Finally, the ability to use the roof for installation of utilities and sports equipment is also a key requirement of this project category. In Šentilj, the Kielsteg roof spans the building in a single span of 24 m with an element height of just 80 cm. The building is fully self-sufficient for energy, thanks to the solar array on the slightly inclined flat roof.

EDEKA Supermarket

kiel_admin — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 12:29:38 +0000

In Nauen, in the state of Brandenburg, EDEKA has built a supermarket of the future that shows the way for CO2 -saving construction and operation of this essential local supply infrastructure. Ulf-U. Plath, managing director of EDEKA Minden-Hannover, emphasizes the company’s commitment to lived sustainability.

The building designed by ZRS Architekten Ingenieure is an impressive demonstration of wooden construction and the determined use of materials with a low CO2 signature. Solar carports on the parking lot and a solar power plant on the roof of the market ensure that the energy supply is also sustainable.

The building is a classic structural shed about 85 m long, 50 m wide and 8.5 m high, with a gross floor area of almost 5,000 m². The walls are built as wooden frameworks with wood-fibre insulation. The primary roof supports are trusses made of beech laminated veneer timber, which cross the width of the building in three spans of 16.44 m each, supported at the walls and on two intermediate posts. The secondary roof structure is formed by Kielsteg elements with an element height of 48.5 cm, laid from one truss to the next: the trusses are at different heights, so that the Kielsteg roof sections have a pitch of 10°, with an effective horizontal span of 12.7 m each. The resulting roof is a series of clean uninterrupted planes forming a visually important part of the whole.

Outside and inside, wood is the dominant visible material. The composition of wooden surfaces of the building envelope and the interior is impressive, not in any way tedious. The utilities are surface-mounted for practical reasons, which also suits the no-nonsense aesthetic. Thanks to new technologies and sustainable materials, the EDEKA Future Market shows how ecological business can succeed.

Carpentry Dandl KG

kiel_admin — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 07:44:29 +0000

The carpentry Dandl KG is one of the largest manufacturers of windows and doors in the Rupertiwinkel region of Upper Bavaria. Dandl combines proven traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art production technology.

With the construction of a new administration and exhibition building, the production area has now also been expanded and a fully automated coating system with a painting robot has been put into operation.

KIELSTEG elements with a length of 25.5 m span the new hall area without supports, so that the window painting line could be installed without collisions.

Generous skylight domes were also integrated into the KIELSTEG roof, providing plenty of daylight in the hall. Despite the enormous load-bearing capacity, the KIELSTEG elements are characterized by a comparatively low construction height, so that overall a harmonious architecture with a flat extension could be realized.

Medical technology iTD

kiel_admin — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 06:20:07 +0000

Medical devices are among the fastest-growing industries in Germany. This is good business for iTD, a company from Lower Bavaria that makes mobile carts and articulated arms for carrying medical devices. And so the company has invested in a brand-new headquarters and factory. Bringing together many different functions in one contiguous block, the building uses a cleverly conceived layout to reduce the distances people and materials have to travel. The project is a vision of the future and illustrates a perfect symbiosis of design, functionality, cost efficiency and sustainability.

Due to the huge dimensions of the production areas, which are more than 200 m long, the architects chose an unusual solution and placed the offices and social spaces on top of the factory. This massively reduced the distances that some employees have to cover and also considerably reduced the soil sealing.

Out of respect for the rural setting, it was a goal to keep the building as low as possible, and with a roof construction just 73 cm high, Kielsteg elements helped significantly in achieving this goal. In spans of 22 m, the Kielsteg roof leaves a lot of freedom for the floor layout. In the communication zones between the offices, the loadbearing Kielsteg roof is consciously exposed as a design element, combining function and optics.

The new building complex has a green roof, which helps bed the building into its green surroundings, and is a valuable compensation for the sealed ground area. Kielsteg is perfectly suited for green roofs and this was an advantage the architects used consciously. The green roof also improves the energy efficiency of the building and is a natural temperature regulator.

Rosenberger Assembly hall High frequency technology

kiel_admin — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 07:44:13 +0000

Rosenberger also relied on KIELSTEG timber construction elements for the new construction of assembly hall 29. The system has been proving its worth there for years as part of the ongoing expansion of the Fridolfing site.

Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik is one of the world’s leading providers of connection solutions in high-frequency, fiber optic and high-voltage technology. More than 3,000 employees work at the headquarters in Fridolfing.

KIELSTEG elements have already been used there in various hall constructions. One of the key arguments is the high flexibility of use of the halls, which results from the enormous structural performance of the timber components and the resulting large column grid. The high degree of prefabrication of the KIELSTEG elements, even with individual planning specifications, also enables very short assembly times.

The structured and closed timber soffit, which is created after the components have been placed, also ensures a more pleasant atmosphere in the production environment. The building services and sprinkler system can be installed directly on the KIELSTEG elements and planned according to the primary requirements.

MPREIS Supermarket

kiel_admin — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 09:27:42 +0000

The MPREIS supermarket chain from Tyrol has been opening numbers of new stores across Austria in recent years. The company is known for sustainability and for the strikingly individual architecture of their stores.

The store in Klagenfurt is situated in a highly visible position with excellent accessibility along a main road. It combines shopping with a café and bistro zone, adding an attractive meeting place to the new buildings on the site. For this situation, Tyrolean architects i-unit created an unusual and eye-catching design.

The architects’ first idea involved a concrete structure, but after the site survey revealed that the ground was unsuitable for this, they switched to a lightweight wooden construction method. As architect Volker Miklautz says, this change of direction led to a design of a completely different character, with a fantastic atmosphere. Despite the overall weight restriction due to the quality of the ground, the wooden construction was well able to satisfy the requirements with its combination of low deadweight and high strength.

The key to the design are the arcades. They form a sheltered area along the front and side of the store, and also create a pleasant lighting situation in the interior. They form the access ways and entrance, provide shade, and also enclose the outdoor seating area of the bistro.

The building is a low-energy design and its entire energy needs are met by the solar panels on its roof.

Since supermarkets have an indispensable role in society as local suppliers of people’s everyday needs, their owners have to take up the task of building appropriately for our time. This store in Klagenfurt is exemplary in terms of its architecture, its state-of-the-art building methods and performance.

Student Canteen

kiel_admin — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 08:20:36 +0000

The new ‘Mensa’ student canteen building at the University of Applied Sciences in Landshut, Bavaria, forms part of the entrance ensemble to the campus. It complements the main administration building, which has a strong street-facing aspect, by having a transparent facade opening onto a plaza and pond between the two – leading from the street into the interior of the campus. It is a low-profile wooden building with a green roof that projects over a patio with outdoor seating by the pond. The total recreation zone has an area of 2835 m².

The indoor canteen space with a floor area of almost 600 m² is divided into three sections; it can seat 400 people, and the canteen can serve up to 1400 meals per day. Outside of mealtimes, students can use the space to study. It can also be used as a venue for conferences, concerts and even as a distinguished location for exclusive gala events.

In this case, using KIELSTEG for the roof structure has contributed an essential aspect to the formal design of the building, and is also a key to its flexibility of use. Visually, the roof appears as a thin, wide plane floating over an open space. This is possible because of KIELSTEG’s high loadbearing performance, covering wide spans at a very low element height.

The new canteen, which is operated by the student services organization for Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate, takes its place as one of the most modern buildings of its type in the German university sector.

Thermal/climate concept

In this case, the green roof acts as a thermal storage mass for the building.

Photovoltaic and green roof

The combination of green roof with a photovoltaic array is synergistic: evaporation from the roof cools the solar panels, which improves their performance.

Solar concept

The shape and alignment of the building were consciously designed to provide shade to a certain area.

BILLA Supermarket

kiel_admin — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 09:01:56 +0000

BILLA has had a branch in Telfs since 1990, and the shop was showing its age. The company chose to replace it with a completely new building. Impressively, the whole project was completed in 80 days from demolition to reopening. The new supermarket employs 19 people, has a sales floor of 600 m² and serves a catchment area of around 12,000 households.

The building is a long rectangular corpus with side walls that are mostly solid, so that the front end, with glass walls and a sheltered porch area, makes a dramatic contrast, appearing as an open, clean, bright, welcoming entrance. The front gives a deep view into the interior of the shop as an expansive, inviting space. The KIELSTEG elements play a role in this setting by providing a pillar-free interior with a visible wooden ceiling.

The main part of the building is made with reinforced concrete walls and the roof is made of KIELSTEG elements. With a height of just 56 cm, the KIELSTEG roof spans a width of more than 18 m and is well able for the snow load of 3.5 kN expected in the winter. The roof of the porch projects 4 m beyond the walls.

The overall design is a perfect marriage of form and function and makes the building into a memorable expression of the corporate identity. And the KIELSTEG roof structure also plays a role in the significantly reduced CO₂ footprint.

Bakery Rauchensteiner

kiel_admin — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 12:50:42 +0000

The new location of the Rauchensteiner bakery in Geisenhausen near Landshut is a showpiece both from an architectural and ecological point of view.

The striking building complex includes a production hall for baked goods and confectionery products and an inviting café with offices above, which are connected to social rooms and a kitchen by a wing. The three parts of the building are framed all around by open terrace areas.

Sustainability played a central role in the planning of the new building. CO2 emissions are significantly reduced through the operation of new, energy-saving ovens, the use of natural gas instead of heating oil and the generation of the company’s own electricity with a PV system.

The roof of the production hall was also realized with KIESTEG timber construction elements. The KIELSTEG system not only gave the planners plenty of leeway in the architectural design, the elements are also PEFC-certified and the lightweight construction only uses as much wood as necessary. The optimized use of the renewable raw material also contributes to sustainability, as does its property as a CO2 store.

New Middle School

kiel_admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 09:59:45 +0000

An existing school building had to be adapted to catch up with changes in how the school is run. The extension, built almost completely in wood, adds 1,500 m² of new floor space. The goals: more space, more light, more quality. Besides offices, the new extension incorporates the foyer, which is also used flexibly for some teaching activities. The first floor features ‘learning islands’ for out-of-classroom learning and teaching. The stairs and walls are made of CLT and a KIELSTEG roof covers the 12-m wide foyer as a single flat surface. The building and remodelling of the school was completed in just one year and within budget. The project was designed by architect Karin Fritz-Weidmann of ingenos ZT GmbH in Gleisdorf, and the building work was done by the firms Muhri and Schranger Holzbaumeister.

Hardware Store & Garden Centre Landring Lagerhaus

kiel_admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 09:47:45 +0000

The cubic block of the new Landring hardware and garden store in Pirching by Gleisdorf, Styria, covers 3,530 m². Architect Martin Gußmagg from Pischelsdorf focused on making the building as adaptable as possible for future uses. The flat KIELSTEG roof is an important part of the solution. It combines one row of KIELSTEG elements in a single span of 18 m and another row of elements 24 m long with a supporting beam at the midline. The 3,530 m² flat roof rests on the building’s concrete pillar and beam skeleton.

Inside, the roof is visible from end to end as an element that unifies the whole sales floor and adds atmosphere. Rows of generously proportioned skylights provide ample natural lighting.

Open space

Uninterrupted by beams, the roof creates an impression of a single, uncluttered space that is unusual in hardware stores.

Skywood

kiel_admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 09:11:07 +0000

Near Vienna’s Westbahnhof, a two-storey rooftop extension was added to a house from the late nineteenth century. In a fully built-up area with high demand for housing, the architects Regina M. Lettner and Günter Lagler of skywood by baukult found a way to create new space. The building is positive example of urban densification in terms of ecology, cost and added value.

While respecting the historic fabric, the architects made use of the design freedoms offered by wood and steel as light, high-performance materials.

After 5 weeks of construction, the new space presents itself as welcoming, filled with light and with panoramic views.

EUROSPAR Supermarket

kiel_admin — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 15:44:48 +0000

Spar is building a new branch in the Styrian town of Hartberg, with a 1,656 m² sales floor, and chose KIELSTEG for the roof. The element span the building width in two rows, each 15.4 m wide. The supporting beam at the midline rests on just two pillars, so that the layout of the interior is almost unrestricted.

With a total length of 21 m, the KIELSTEG elements also form a projecting roof 5.4 m deep along the front of the shop, affording shelter from the weather.

The height of the roof structure is 48.5 cm and 56 cm in different sections, corresponding to the load requirements of non-green and green roof zones.

Flexibility

The number of pillars needed inside the shop is minimized by the low weight of the KIELSTEG elements combined with their high loadbearing strength.

PERCEPTION

The exposed Kielsteg surface with its pattern of linear stripes is a design feature that adds a distinctive note to the interior space of the supermarket.

LOAD CAPACITY

Load-bearing performance, rapid construction and the role in the interior styling were the main factors in the decision to use KIELSTEG.

The building has a floor area of 2,500 m² and only needs two rows of internal supports.

The KIELSTEG elements are only 61 cm high despite their enormous load-bearing performance. This helped the designers keep the two-story building relatively low.

FIRE PROTECTION INNOVATION

The sprinkler system is attached directly to the wooden roof elements.

As part of a remodelling and extension of a workshop and office complex, a 630-m² workshop shed was built for Florian Gaass GmbH in Grainet. The roof is made of KIELSTEG elements with clear spans of more than 14 m and meets the requirements of ‘snow load zone 3’.

FLEXIBLE USE OF SPACE

The KIELSTEG elements cover the 14 x 45-m shed in a single span, creating a pillar-free space with complete freedom in how it is used.

PLEASANT WORKSPACE

The visible wooden ceiling and the integrated skylights ensure good lighting and an excellent interior climate.

HARMONIOUS

The 61-cm high KIELSTEG elements helped to realise the building as a low-profile structure that is tucked unobtrusively into the landscape.

Visually attractive and functional at the same time – the KIELSTEG roof of the 1,500 m² EDEKA market in Beckingen in the Saarland. 26 m long KIELSTEG elements cover the shop and extend out over the entrance area by another 6.5 m. The mall in a modern design opened its doors for business recently.

26 m Span

Thanks to the KIELSTEG elements, the shop has a large pillar-free space that can be furnished flexibly.

Aesthetic and functional

The natural wooden ceiling with its unmistakable striped pattern adds warmth and style to the ambience of the shop. The lighting and ventilation systems attached to the ceiling and are fully visible as part of the design concept.

Full disclosure on the CO2 footprint

KIELSTEG stands for high performance and a sustainable, ecological way of building. It has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for accurate documentation of the CO₂ footprint.

German Red Cross District HQ

kiel_admin — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 10:22:13 +0000

A building in Weingarten in Baden-Württemberg set a new record for the most KIELSTEG used in a single project. A new four-storey building is being built as the district headquarters for the Red Cross in the Baden-Oberschwaben region. It provides space for an ambulance station and administrative offices. The roof and upper floors incorporate 5,000 m² of KIELSTEG elements.

5.000 m² of KIELSTEG Elements

20 m long KIELSTEG elements are used with one axis of internal supports for the floors, and 12 m long elements are used for the shallow double-pitched roof.

Low foundation loading

Besides the space-spanning capability, KIELSTEG was chosen for its light weight, in view of the fact that the new building is making use of an existing foundation.

Ecological and sustainable

KIELSTEG elements are made of spruce and pine from sustainable forestry, and have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).

Caritas workshops

kiel_admin — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 10:34:31 +0000

A major wish for the two new Caritas workshops in Bad Mergentheim and Lauda-Königshofen, in the Tauberkreis district, was to achieve indoor spaces with a pleasant and encouraging atmosphere. The architects chose KIELSTEG for its advantages as a roof structure and also because they could use it as a practical design element for the interiors. Besides the workshops, each building contains a canteen area with food serving, an administrative area with offices, common rooms and changing rooms and an open-plan reception area. All the areas are bright and full of light and designed to be as positive as possible for the mood and motivation of the people working there.

6.000 m² of KIELSTEG Elements

The two new buildings made full use of KIELSTEG’s high load-bearing performance, including some elements with 22 m spans.

Optimum interior character

The KIELSTEG system is proving its value as a practical interior design element. The wood surface is planed and untreated, which provides a textured and warm-coloured ceiling.

Options for interior design

No cladding of the ceiling is needed for either fire prevention or aesthetic reasons. The utilities can be directly attached to the wooden ceiling, which creates additional options for the interior design.

baierl + demmelhuber factory

kiel_admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:56:24 +0000

baierl + demmelhuber is a high-end interior outfitter based in Töging am Inn in Bavaria with many prestigious international clients. The new building is a 3,000 m² wooden fabrication facility whose exterior appearance already announces that this is an expanding business serving the premium sector. The almost completely wooden construction of the building harmonizes perfectly with the neighbouring buildings thanks to its wooden screen facade.

Flexible use of space

Thanks to the high performance of the KIELSTEG roof elements the factory covers an interior of 66 x 44 m with only three pillars on its midline. This means the area inside can be used very flexibly.

Rapid construction

The KIELSTEG elements were prefabricated and delivered just in time in the order in which they were to be laid, which means that the roof installation only took a few days.

Prizewinning innovation

Hinterschwepfinger Projekt GmbH won the materialPREIS 2015 from the materials agency raumPROBE for their innovative use of the KIELSTEG system.
