Bee lore in wooden garb

New construction of the laboratory building at the University of Hohenheim

Der Neubau für die Landesanstalt für Bienenkunde liegt mitten im Grünen und fügt sich durch die Holzfassade in Leistenoptik perfekt in die Umgebung ein.

Blick in das großzügige zweistöckige Foyer, eingekleidet in helles Weißtannenholz, das für eine gute Raumakustik und zusammen mit Sichtbeton und Glas als elegantes Designelement dient.

Der lange Gang im Inneren zweigt zu mehreren Räumen an und wird durch ein großes bodentiefes Fenster am Ende lichtdurchflutet.

Das gesamte Innenleben des Neubaus wird dominiert durch die riesigen Fensterfronten, die von allen Seiten Licht in die Räume lassen, so auch in dem in helles Holz verkleideten Seminarraum.

Das gesamte Gebäude wurde durch den Einsatz von LIGNO® Akustik light raumakustisch optimiert und so ist die helle Holzverkleidung nicht nur ein eleganter Hingucker, sondern auch hoch funktionell.

Der Neubau auf dem Campus der Uni Hohenheim ist umgeben von Bäumen und liegt somit sehr idyllisch eingebettet in die Natur, was im Einklang mit dem Architekturkonzept für das Gebäude steht.

Glazed in anthracite on the outside, natural on the inside and also abundantly represented in the supporting structure: The new building for the State Institute for Bee Research on the campus of the University of Hohenheim draws attention to itself with the material wood. University of Hohenheim draws attention to itself. The concept of a laboratory building as a timber hybrid construction is particularly innovative. The ceilings were designed as wood-reinforced concrete composite ceilings. The facade is clad in anthracite glazed silver fir. This contrasts with the light-colored wood cladding and exposed and exposed concrete surfaces in the interior. The acoustic panels made of silver fir not only visually enhance the interior, but also ensure pleasant acoustics in addition to the reverberating exposed concrete. The readers of german-architects.com appreciate the impressive design and voted it first in the vote for "Building of the Year 2022".

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
_WTL Silver fir knotless, patternedaft
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
_625-20-4 Slat profile
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
_gb Brushed
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.
Treatment
_buv UV-protection stain
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
_a70g 70% Absorber
