Boat and Club House, Fußach, Austria
Glass wrapped, tree-like load bearing structure in concrete
The realisation of this multi-functional building is the last step in transforming a former gravel pit on the shores of Lake Constance into a modern marina.
The 14 m high delicate architectural concrete building complete with a glass covering, has 3 levels which are used as a boat-house, entrance and sanitary areas as well as an almost 9 m high meeting and events room.
Construction of the distinctive structure was carried out with the help of TRIO panel formwork with double layer plywood climbed on FB 180 folding platforms. The original entirely irregularly planned box-outs were optimized by the architects into a cost-effective execution plan: concreting took place using only six formwork elements in ten sections whereby the formwork sets were used in rotated and mirrored positions.
