Gredler + Söhne

Solid timber construction with glass system walls

Gredler und Söhne GmbH is investing in a sustainable future with the new solid timber construction of its company headquarters. The third-generation family business has been caring for trees for 65 years. Wood as a resource-conserving and sustainable building material was an obvious choice. Austrian planner Stefan Holzknecht designed a three-storey administration building that offers employees an attractive, open and familiar working environment. The two office floors, ground floor and first floor, are connected by a spacious open area and a central staircase. This meeting space promotes communication and invites informal dialogue. In the long term, the 2nd floor can also be opened here. This floor offers potential for further successful growth.

In addition to the natural wood, the glass corridor walls define the bright and welcoming overall impression of the interior fit-out. The fecoplan full-glass walls with 12 mm toughened safety glass (ESG) and a sound insulation rating of Rw,P = 37 dB on the ground floor allow the central zone to maintain a visual connection to the picturesque agricultural landscape at the edge of Neuthard. The door system frames and the technical side panels integrated into the frames are clad in oak veneer, matching the wooden door leaves, which are flush with the frame on both sides. Fire protection requirements for the mandatory stairwell were also met using feco system elements, with fecocent F30 fire-rated glazing and a T30 wooden door.

On the upper floor, the client and planner opted for the fecofix Holz flush-mounted double glazing with real oak veneer in the interstitial space, combined with flush-fitting wooden door elements fecodoor H70 with concealed frames on the corridor side. The office partition walls are also finished with real oak veneer and feature horizontal acoustic grooves in a 14/2 pattern in selected areas to optimize acoustics. Integrated black-anodized aluminum orga profiles allow for flexible attachment of organizational elements and add structure to the wall surfaces.

feco also advised and supported the client in designing the office workstations with furniture from Vitra, La Palma, and Ophelis Concepts. Through a trustful collaboration, a positive working environment was created with the office team that makes the family business’s passion for tree care tangible. With the new company headquarters, Gredler und Söhne GmbH conveys a strong appreciation for both clients and employees, presenting itself as an attractive employer.
