Spanning more than 2,300 m², the building aims both to deliver top-quality communal catering and to follow a sustainable construction approach.
The timber structure was entrusted to Rialland, a specialist in traditional carpentry, glulam, timber framing, and wooden constructions.
For this project, the structure uses approximately 106 m³ of GL24H+ spruce, as well as 27 m³ of curved GL24H Douglas, employed for the framework and curved load-bearing elements.
Using GL24H+ spruce guarantees the frame’s robustness and stability, and curved wood makes it possible to achieve unique architectural forms (vaults, arches, curved timber structures), blending structural performance and aesthetic quality.
Opting for wood in a 2,300 m² building highlights its structural efficiency, quick assembly, and environmental sustainability.
Rialland’s command of glulam and curved elements ensures precise, effective assembly, speeding up the building process
The use of wood fosters a warm, human atmosphere, appropriate for a public facility with social and community-oriented aims.
