This elegant villa near Innsbruck showcases a fully timber-based construction, using premium solid wood products for both its structural framework and interior finishes. Built with binderholz CLT BBS, glulam, and 3-ply solid wood panels, the sustainable home combines timeless design with a stunning panoramic view over the Inn Valley.
Project New construction of a solid wood villa
Location Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria
Completion September 2025
Architecture ATP Innsbruck Planungs GmbH
Timber Engineering & Statics ATP Innsbruck Planungs GmbH & binderholz
Timber Construction Assembly Schafferer Holzbau GmbH
Material Use 227 m³ binderholz CLT BBS, 13 m³ binderholz glulam, 1,400 m² silver fir 3-layer panels
The building features a refined palette of brushed silver fir, complemented by oak accents and travertine natural stone. Its structure is based on a sustainable solid wood load-bearing system, using binderholz CLT BBS, glulam beams, and 3-layer solid wood panels. This approach enables long-term CO₂ storage, as wood functions as a natural carbon sink—each cubic meter used removes around one ton of CO₂ from the atmosphere. In addition, the solid wood elements provide natural heat and moisture regulation, ensuring a comfortable and balanced indoor climate throughout the year.
The use of solid wood significantly minimizes the ecological footprint, as concrete and steel were only used where structurally unavoidable. The fasteners required for construction, the steel components, and a prefabricated staircase were also supplied by binderholz. The precise manufacturing of the timber elements not only guarantees craftsmanship durability but also ensures a highly efficient, climate-friendly overall system in combination with a heat pump, living space ventilation, and a photovoltaic system.
“The success of this excellent cooperation with binderholz was evident, for example, in the joint work on the detailed structural engineering: the large spans and roof overhangs made of wood required the highest precision in planning and execution.” – Stefan Köll, Dipl.Ing., Overall Project Manager ATP Innsbruck.
