Excellent living: GSWB Burgfried is Salzburg's wooden residential building benchmark
There is exciting news in Hallein, a picturesque part of Salzburg. The new GSWB Burgfried settlement has secured the title of the largest wooden housing project in all of Salzburg. This remarkable project not only represents innovative construction, but also a sustainable future.
What makes this wooden residential building so special? The answer lies in the environmental friendliness of the material and construction. Wood is not only considered a renewable raw material, but also offers excellent insulation properties that ensure a pleasant living environment. In addition, the GSWB (Gemeinnützige Salzburger Wohnbaugesellschaft) has already received the coveted “klimaaktiv Gold” award five times for its buildings. This award recognizes particularly sustainable construction projects that make valuable contributions to climate protection.
Awards and sustainability
The klimaaktiv award is proof of the high standards that were adhered to during the planning and execution of the settlement. It promotes changes in construction methods to minimize the ecological footprint. Every individual project within the settlement has the opportunity to receive this award, which puts the entire complex in a particularly positive light.
At a time when climate change is a key issue, this construction project shows how innovative solutions and smart decisions can contribute to a better living environment. Wood as a building material plays a key role here. It not only reduces CO2 emissions during the construction process, but also contributes to long-term CO2 storage.
Through its commitment, the GSWB ensures that modern living can be in harmony with ecological principles. The Burgfried settlement will thus become a model for future construction projects in Salzburg and beyond. The concept combines aesthetics with functionality and environmental awareness, which has met with great interest and numerous positive feedback.
