Krokodil, Switzerland
The 8 floor tall ''Krokodil'' building is built as a timber structure from the first floor up. The walls consist of prefabricated light-frame construction and were produced as pre-fabricated elements by Implenia Holzbau in Rümlang. The floor slabs are made of CLT panels with an additional split fill. This construction method significantly lowered embodied carbon compared to conventional concrete construction, thereby supporting the ambitious sustainability goals of the Lokstadt-Areal where the project is located.

Project Pi, Switzerland
The Pi wooden skyscrapers project is not only unique because of its height of 28 stories and 80 meters, but it also breaks new ground in terms of construction technologies. By implementing a newly developed timber-based slab system along with timber columns, the weight of the supporting structure was reduced by 34% compared to steel frame construction. Additionally, this approach saves the equivalent of 1,700 tons of CO2 and stores 3,333 tons of CO2 within the applied wood.
