passive house at Lake Constance

Slim on the outside, airy on the inside - in solid wood

Ein kompakter Zweigeschosser für eine junge Familie liegt verborgen unter dem Blätterdach des umgebenden Baumbestands, direkt am Bodensee.

Die verwendeten Bauteile made of LIGNO® aus Holz mit weißer Gipsverkleidung, sorgen in diesem Passivhaus für wohngesundes, nachhaltiges Wohnen.

Der Wohnbereich öffnet sich über eine verglaste Wand in den Park und die dunklen Böden bilden einen dynamischen Kontrast mit den weißen Wänden.

Das Schlafzimmer mit dunklem Holzboden öffnet sich über eine verglaste Wandseite der Natur.

Im Badezimmer sorgt eine grün gekachelte Wand für einen besonderen Farbakzent und durch ein lang gezogenes Fensterband fällt viel Licht in den Raum.

Die Fassade des Passivhauses mitten im Grünen, ist mit gebäudehohen Industrieglastafeln verkleidet, die durch gelochte Stahlprofile unten und oben gehalten werden.

Dieser unaufgeregte Bau konnte mit seinem cleveren, ganzheitlichen und nachhaltigen Planungskonzept bereits mehrere Preise gewinnen.

Redensification of the unobtrusive kind: a compact two-storey building for a young family is hidden under the canopy of the surrounding trees, directly at Lake Constance. The clients' wish was to build a simple, modern and sustainable home on the large lakeside plot with the Art Nouveau villa at its centre. The unagitated building has already won several prizes with its clever and holistic planning concept and was awarded 'Das Goldene Haus' by the magazine 'Das Haus'.

Configuration overview

Components used

LIGNO® Rippe Q3 | Ceiling component
Produktkode: LIGNO® Rippe Q3_230-290_r0_sze_z0_p0_a0_625-621-4_NSI_gh_b0
To configurator To product page
Installation top

Whether the element is open or closed at the top is determined by the area of application. If, for example, the element is to be filled with fill on site as a storey ceiling or roof terrace (LIGNO® Rippe Q3-x), its cavities are open at the top (feature _r0). To guide pipes at the top of the element, a cross grid (_r25, _r50) can be added to some superstructures. For roof superstructures, there is usually a flat closed finish _rg0 (LIGNO® Block Q-x, LIGNO® Block Q3-x or corresponding versions of LIGNO® Acoustic classic).
Installation top
_r0 Open, without cross grid
Statics

The height of the load-bearing webs of the element is variable and determined according to static requirements from load and span. Within the framework of this configurator, the selection is limited to four height ranges. A more precise definition is made later during pre-dimensioning or verification with the LTB-x calculation programme. Bulk volume and/or necessary space for installations can also be decisive for the height.
Statics
_230-290 Medium span
Fire resistance

If fire protection is required, an additional layer is added below the web area (for elements with strip profiles _z26, _z53, _z80, for elements with board profiles Akustik klassik _k50g). Their height determines the fire resistance duration of the cross-section from 30 to 90 minutes. The fire resistance must be statically verified. If there are no requirements, the standard versions _z0 or _k50l are to be selected.
Fire resistance
_z0 R0
Cavity

Panel designs with slat profiles and additional layer can be configured with an additional cavity (_p26, _p53) below the additional layer for installation guides, fixtures or to improve sound absorption. Cables laid there then do not penetrate the fire-protection layer. If required, the cavity is filled with insulating material (_p26mw, _p26ha) to improve acoustic absorption. If no cavity is necessary, the characteristic _p0 is selected.
Cavity
_p0 No cavity
Room acoustics

If the soffit of the element is to have a good sound-absorbing effect, the penultimate layer is configured as absorber _a50g. Otherwise, this layer is configured as a solid wood layer _a0.
Room acoustics
_a0 Without absorber
Profile

The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.

Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
Profile
_625-621-4 Closed surface
Wood type

Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.
Wood type
_NSI Industrial quality
Structure

The face is subjected to a brushing _gb as standard, which produces a stronger or weaker structure depending on the type of wood and makes the surface less sensitive to scratches. Alternatively, a smooth sanding _gs can be carried out, or on request a bandsaw cut _grimitated.
Structure
_gh Planed
Treatment

Depending on the type of wood, the optional application of a surface treatment is possible ex works. Individual colour finishes are always sampled for coordination. For elements in individual lengths, colour treatment is limited to max. 5 m length.

Insulation joist

The lower the U-value of a component and the lower the psi value of the details, the less heat is lost. This is precisely where the U*psi® cross-laminated timber insulating uprights from Lignotrend come into effect: They implement high insulating thicknesses in natural timber and minimise thermal bridges.
