Back to projectsThis structure is built from 119 uniquely crafted wooden cross hubs and 227 individually designed aluminum lamella profiles—no two components share the same geometry or dimensions. The wooden hubs, weighing between 1.28 and 3.77 kilograms each are meticulously milled from Beech wood using advanced CNC subtractive methods, ensuring a perfect, custom fit for every piece. These wooden elements bring both strength and visual warmth to the design.
Every aluminum lamella is custom-shaped, chosen for durability and a sleek look; its lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties add not only structural integrity but a distinctive modern flair. The combination of wood and aluminum also means the structure is both robust and requires less maintenance than traditional all-wood designs, benefiting from aluminum’s immunity to warping, pests, and decay.
With a total weight of about 700 kilograms, the structure is supported by four contouring bases, each crafted from plywood sheets precisely cut in two orthogonal directions for excellent weight distribution and a visually engaging pattern. This innovative blend of materials and fabrication techniques is not only about aesthetics and strength—it also exemplifies sustainable building practices. Both wood and aluminum can be sourced and recycled responsibly, aligning the project with modern eco-friendly standards. Altogether, the structure stands out for its craftsmanship, its mix of traditional and contemporary materials, and its suitability for both functional and architectural purposes.
