HOCOMP Berlin
The three storey school building is constructed in timber modular construction with an attic flat roof. The modular grid measures 2.86 m. The school building is designed as an elongated, meandering structure oriented in a north south direction. The façades of the classrooms are mostly oriented to the west and east.
Administrative and specialised rooms are arranged along the smaller façade sections facing north and south. The modules were delivered to the construction site with a prefabrication level of up to 90 percent and assembled on site. The corridor areas are also designed in timber as semi prefabricated components. The technical installations are routed through the ceiling area and connected with the modules to form an integrated system.
The building’s specialised technical equipment – such as radiant ceiling panels and media routing in the ceiling – is likewise adapted to the modular design. This enables highly efficient on site construction while ensuring easy accessibility and maintenance of all technical components.
The predefined modular timber construction system ensures a highly efficient planning and building process, allowing the entire ensemble to be used significantly earlier. Timber is an ideal circular material. As a fully recyclable building material, timber ensures a closed material cycle for the modules.
By selecting natural materials, the future students are intended to develop ecological awareness and a stronger connection to natural resources.
