Building B

Building B will be planned, built, and operated using the BIM (Building Information Modelling) method. The digital 3D model will streamline and industrialise construction processes, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

To optimise the building’s operation, all elements and equipment will be detailed in the model to give information about composition, the type of maintenance required, maintenance deadlines, and the recyclability of materials used.

The project is characterised by its extensive use of locally sourced Fribourg wood, both for the structure and facades. No less than 2000 m³ of timber will be used. The façade will be clad in burnt wood, a technique that gives a natural finish and lasting protection. The integration of openwork slats in front of window openings forms a dynamic weave in dialogue with the built heritage and in line with the urban environment. Equipped with a solar roof and a photovoltaic sun visor system, the building will allow for innovative water management aimed at significantly reducing direct environmental impact (more efficient wastewater treatment) and improving the living environment.
