Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Handl Gastro Service in Pians, Austria by ATP architects engineersOctober 13th, 2021 by Sumit Singhal

One highlight of the project is the innovative use of the material wood, which the design team has interpreted in both a traditional (façade) and a modern (timber slab) manner.

A “clean”, silver aluminum façade offers a hint to the outside of the high hygienic standards of the interior spaces. The upper level includes offices, meeting rooms, the canteen, and sales and gastronomic areas with a fully-equipped kitchen. In a reference to a traditional “Speckalm”, the upper floor has a curtain façade of vertical timber cladding, which combines with the glazing of the sales area.

As a result of this approach there is no need for the upstand and downstand beams that are usual in timber building. With a total area of 650 m2, this is the world’s largest cross-laminated timber slab to date. The system also convinces visually: With its smooth, uniform soffit, the timber ceiling dramatically and impressively covers the entire space – uninterrupted by a single beam. The solution was made possible by two innovations that were skillfully combined by ATP’s structural engineers: a connecting and reinforcing system known as the “Spider Connector” (from Rothoblaas Srl) and a special gluing of the joints with a two-component adhesive based on polyurethane-cast resin (Timber Structures 3.0 AG).
