CLT townhouse in Amsterdam

Area: 231 m²
Floors: 3

ZTC has completed a project in the Netherlands, Amsterdam- has built a prefabricated wooden house, combined with CLT. The building has CLT interior walls, separating walls, and a ceiling. The outer walls of the house are built in the wood panels. The building is a private house with spaciousness.

ZTC have finished building the 1st round of three. The building has 3 floors where wood panels are combined with CLT. In the next rounds of construction it is planned to build another 2 floors. The 5-storey building has been adhered to the increased fire safety requirements of a residential house due to Dutch building standards.

The prefabricated wooden house is waterproof and covered, designed and manufactured as well as built to expand the house in the future. The house built by ZTC is built between 2 residential houses. The building has large beautiful windows and a metal rusting facade (Corten). At the moment, the facade of the house is metallic, but soon it will rust and change colour.

This building is built as a non-film building with ecological materials. The house was built using the principles of sustainable construction. Hence creating a quality, environmentally and health-friendly living space promotes both ecological and economic and social sustainability, a way to live more environmentally and healthier. The Blower door test in mid-November proves that the house built by ZTC is energy efficient.

Scope of ZTC work

Firstly ZTC developed the construction drawings for the building and produced the technical project for wooden constructions of the prefab wood house. Then produced the construction elements (panels and other elements) and organized delivery of the prefab house construction kit to the building site. The building panels were prefitted with electrical conduits and boxes in the factory to minimize work on site and speed up the construction cycle. Also ZTC ensured installation works on the building site and exterior finishing works. Likewise ZTC workers did roofing works.

Whereas laying of foundation, interior engineering communications (piping, wiring) and interior finishing was organized by the client.
