Ceratizit

Commercial building, Kreckelmoos

The new CERATIZIT production building at the Kreckelmoos site near Reutte has nothing to hide. With such imposing dimensions of 200 by 80 metres, this would be difficult to achieve – and a shame for a showcase project that blends harmoniously into the Alpine landscape.

CLTPLUS - Ceiling elements

Nature served as a source of inspiration for the architects at ATP when designing the modern premises for the grinding shop and toolmaking department:

While the stone base is reminiscent of massive mountain slopes, the permeable façade with its wooden elements is reminiscent of a tree-lined clearing in the forest.

Innovative industrial construction

The high proportion of wood makes the building appear open and inviting, but the choice of materials can also be seen as a commitment to the region.

THEURL supplied 2,350 m³ of glulam for the innovative industrial building – primarily used for the ceilings – and 2,430 m³ of CLTPLUS in the form of smartly designed ceiling elements. The client CERATIZIT’s handling of the project was extremely straightforward, although delivery to the construction site proved to be rather complex during the course of the year due to the shuttle service that was set up. Thanks to the commitment of everyone involved, the structure was completed at the end of 2022 despite some delays due to periods of bad weather with large amounts of rain and snow.
