Administrative building for Fa. Barth Innenausbau, Brixen / Bressanone

The Barth company is well known for high-quality craftsmanship. It began as a cabinetmaker's shop and grew steadily to become what is today a company specializing in interior finishing with worldwide activities. At the same time, the company's close cooperation with architects and artists posed a challenge to develop something new and creative using various different materials and techniques.
The design of the new office building had to rise to the occasion and make an artistically expressive statement.
The building's basic shape is that of a hexagon, with in part far overhanging arms. This was erected essentially as a prefabricated wood structure. The interior steel-reinforced concrete core together with the specific use of steel profiles all combine to give the structure the necessary rigidity.
