Made of hybrid materials and featuring a frame structure, the project uses modular timber structure to offer sustainable housing solutions that are quick to assemble and meet the demand for eco-friendly residential buildings.Each module arrived on site with systems already installed (bathrooms, furnishings, electricity, and plumbing), floors and walls already finished, making it almost ready for use from the moment it was assembled.
Customized Connections and Advanced Structural Analysis
Ergodomus, in collaboration with Unihouse SA, developed customized steel connections designed to facilitate on-site assembly using a self-aligning system. These connections, also designed using a 3D FEM model, are capable of withstanding horizontal loads (wind, seismic) and accommodating the natural movements of timber due to variations in humidity and compression.
The logistics were precisely orchestrated: the modules, manufactured in Poland by Unihouse SA, were loaded onto the ship in reverse order to the assembly schedule, ensuring optimal flow during unloading and installation. Deliveries complied with Norwegian regulations and took place at night due to the rigid dimensions of the modules.
Assembly exceeded all expectations: the first seven-story tower was completed in just 10 days, while the second tower was assembled at an even faster pace, with 12–14 modules installed per day, that is, about 30% faster.
