Solid, well thought-out, sustainable, Swiss Made – the old A-Frame house
of the future.

Your individual home
– whether near or far.

Affordable, long lasting, bold designed and often even self-sufficient – our roof-only houses are much more than just weekend houses or tiny homes; they meet all requirements, whether as a second home, rental property, remote oasis or first home.

Our A-Frame houses
– honest architecture.

Our A-Frames: Sustainable flexibility in timber-frame construction

The timber-frame construction uses a load-bearing frame structure made of wood and steel, which makes it possible to create spacious, open surfaces. This construction method offers a high degree of flexibility in the use of the rooms and can be easily adapted to changing needs (segment construction).

The skeleton consists of structural beams and wooden elements (floor/walls) arranged in a triangular shape, which form a self-supporting construction. This can be placed on the ground or on existing masonry without anchoring on expensive foundation, which is particularly advantageous when renovating or renovating old buildings, small houses (Stöckli) or ruins. This type of construction largely eliminates invasive interventions in nature, which saves costs and results in ecological advantages.

In modular construction, the volumes between the wooden frame beams are formed by wooden panels with their integrated insulation and functional module elements. This technology enables both flexible architectural design and an efficient climatization.

The join- and fastening concept of the elements and the bearing system of the frame structure promote both the natural breathing of the materials and their expansion due to temperature and humidity influences. This enables the longevity of the whole construction.

Walls and roofs can be individually adapted - for example with added fixed glazing, folding roof segments or PV solar modules. In addition, the house can be extended if necessary (segment construction) and supplemented with a terrace, a balcony or a pergola.

Robustness, versatility
and functionality
 – a true all-rounder.

  • 4 Seasons

    At home in winter and summer: All-round, energy-efficient insulation thanks to floor and wall elements made of solid wood and sheep's wool or rock wool.

  • Innovative roof solutions

    By separating the insulated structural cell from the outer skin, it is possible to build a durable, outer roof design (in brick, steel or textile, depending on the purpose) or in combination with energy modules (PV/solar).

  • Simple and nature-friendly structure foundation

    The classic, expensive construction site is no longer necessary: the structure is 'placed' on simple, nature-friendly foundation supports. If required, we are happy to help with legally compliant concepts for fresh water supply and waste water disposal, tailored to the respective local conditions.

  • Short delivery times: 
Finished elements in 5 weeks from factory

    The delivery of the structure as well as the walls, floors and facade elements from factory usually takes place by truck within a maximum of 5 weeks.

  • Fast assembly and individual interior
construction support

    Our experienced assembly team guarantees the professional structure erection within 1 week and, if required, supports with the desired interior work, usually finished within 2 weeks.

Strong in design, cozy at heart.

With natural materials: sustainability for a home in harmony with nature.

Naturally materialized

means the use of honest materials and the avoidance of artificial post-treatments. "Breathing instead of sealing".

Wood fascinates with its uniquely positive charisma as a natural and renewable building material and allows, by its nature, a long-lasting construction. It smells good, feels comfortable and creates a healthy indoor climate. This makes timber constructions not only a technique rich in tradition, but also a future-proof one.

Wood:

Type of wood: spruce/fir
Country of origin: AT, CZ, DE, FI, SE, SK, IT
Low-emission wood material, Nature Plus certified, PEFC certified, SQS-PEFC-COC-43617

Naturally connected

We choose the ideal glass combination for the respective application, whether in particularly warm climates and/or intense sunlight. Climate conditioning costs are reduced and the room can be more easily kept at a comfortable temperature.

Thermal insulation and sun protection glass:

SILVERSTAR EN2plus Sunstop 2-fold
SWISSDUREX SILVERSTAR COMBI Grey 60 6mm and
Swissdurex clear 4 mm
Thickness 24.0 mm, SLR 14 mm, argon
U: EN=1.1W/m2K, g=33%, light transmission 59.0%
Origin: Glas Trösch GmbH, CH

Naturally protected

Insulation made of solid wood panels and Swiss sheep's wool or rock wool. Sheep's wool is naturally renewable, 100% biodegradable (can be reused as fertilizer, among other things), neutralizes household toxins by breaking down the sheep's wool fiber, is breathable and ensures clean, naturally regulated air. Tested thermal conductivity (panels 0.036/fleece 0.038). Protected against rotting thanks to treatment with certified moth protection. No formation of toxic gases, difficult to burn. Alternatively, we can also use rock wool on request, also a natural product, which protects against cold and heat and helps conserve room temperature leveled. It also significantly reduces heating costs. Rock wool ensures a pleasant, healthy room climatization: Permeable to water vapor, resistant to mold, rot and vermin.
