Haus Furrer, KIM, Winterthur

The Haus Furrer is a flagship project for sustainable construction. In the up-and-coming KIM neighbourhood of Winterthur, a new development of high architectural quality is creating a generously proportioned, modern complex with more than 200 homes, commercial units and well-planted inner courtyards. Implenia developed the project and, in line with our integrated approach, all our divisions are involved. Apart from the ground floor, the whole seven-storey structure is timber-built, so the wooden construction experts of Division Specialties are playing a key role. Wood is perfect for building: light, easy to work with and excellent potential to scale up production to industrial levels. Standardised wooden elements can be prefabricated, so as well as being sustainable, construction is extremely efficient. Residents should start moving into the new complex in spring 2022.
