Rocket (Lokstadt)
One of the tallest planned timber residential buildings in a new district of Winterthur
The “Rocket” in Winterthur’s new “Lokstadt” district is one of the tallest timber residential buildings currently planned. It relies on an innovative timber construction that has been developed especially for high-rise buildings by Implenia, ETH Zurich and the civil engineering company WaltGalmarini. The building designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects from Copenhagen and Cometti Truffer Hodel Architects from Lucerne is to be mixed use and will include attractive rental flats as well as a hotel on the lower floors. In addition to its timber hybrid construction, the property will also be connected to the district heating grid and is to be certified with the SNBS Gold label. The building will be a showcase project for hybrid, innovative and sustainable real estate development.
