Student accommodation and apartments – new build using timber-frame construction
A five-storey building housing around 30 rooms for students was put up in record time on Blijde Inkomststraat in Leuven. The building is made up of 243 timber frame components assembled on site, measuring up to 10 metres wide and one storey high and with exterior joinery built-in. This development, consisting entirely of a timber structure with prefabricated façade elements featuring brick slips and exterior joinery, was assembled at Machiels Building Solutions’ production plant.
