The highest timber construction in France
Wood, walls and floors, the only concessions are because of regulation. A pioneer of the genre, this set culminates at 38 meters high, with 146 apartments and shops spread over 3 buildings of 8 to 11 floors. An architectural and technical feat, unparalleled to this day, showcasing future-oriented and responsible buildings.
Wood: a construction accelerator
Avant-garde in more ways than one, the realization is particularly for its structure. The set of 3 buildings is almost completely made up of natural and biobased materials, including vertical circulation cores, namely elevators and stairs.
A real technical challenge, raised by Bouygues Immobilier and its partners, after 3 years of research and studies. Paradoxically, it took only 3 months to erect and assemble the structure of this building "demonstrator and eco-responsible". A total of 3,500 m3 of wood will have been required to complete the set.
An iconic building
SENSATIONS is located in the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg known for its bias and urbanistic audacity. Directly connected to Germany, by the bridge of Europe and a footbridge, SENSATIONS is an ambitious project, orchestrated by Bouygues Immobilier, in the heart of the emblematic district of Deux-Rives, taking advantage of the remarkable metamorphosis of the banks of the Rhine.
Comfort and complementarity of uses
Three buildings compose SENSATIONS whose height is between R + 8 and R + 11. 146 residential units from the studio to the T5 are proposed as well as 6 commercial spaces. The apartments are connected and smart. They all have a balcony, terrace or garden.
Sustainable development approach of the project owner
Buildings with passive energy and low carbon, SENSATIONS is composed of mainly natural materials, recyclable, low emission of pollutants. It is powered by a geothermal heat pump. "Building good for the planet, it is good for the economy by creating new opportunities for the wood industry," says Robert Herrmann, president of the Eurométropole. Naturally, SENSATIONS claims to be an exemplary residence, following an economical and ecological approach of tomorrow's housing.
Architectural description
Even when it will not be the highest in France, "Sensations" will remain the "most wood": almost all of its structure is made of this natural material. Including the cores of vertical circulation (lifts and stairs). Like the current floors, the load-bearing walls and the facade, they are made of Austrian KLH's cross-laminated timber (CLT), combined with a glue-laminated beam-to-beam structure. "Only the flights of stairs and the base on the ground floor of recovery charges are concrete, for regulatory reasons," said Christophe Ouhayoun, associate architect of the Paris office KOZ. This set culminates at 38 meters high , with 146 homes and shops, spread over 3 buildings from 8 to 11 floors. Bathed in natural light, a guarantee of well-being and energy saving, the majority of housing are through and systematically offer an outdoor living space: balcony, terrace or private garden.
