The active archive of material studies and structural fabrication

Rigorous documentation of material behavior and construction sequencing.

Alpine timber seasoning

Board-marked concrete cores

Minimal-ground-contact anchoring

Examining moisture migration and stress relief in structural larch harvested above 1,800 meters.

Calibrating thermal storage and surface texture through custom timber formwork assemblies.

Fixating heavy structural loads into unstable rock profiles without disturbing surrounding topography.

Joinery tolerances in the Engadin Valley

Achieving absolute planar alignment between pre-cast mineral panels and traditional hand-oiled framing timbers under extreme seasonal thermal shifts.

The resulting envelope maintains airtight stability while permitting natural wood respiration through meticulously calculated slip joints.
