As part of the urban redevelopment of the “Badeteil” district in Bad Tölz, two three-story residential buildings with a total of 25 apartments were constructed. The design was based on a structural timber-hybrid construction: highly insulated, prefabricated timber frame wall elements form the exterior and interior walls, while the ceilings are made of glued laminated timber. The stairwells and basement levels were built in reinforced concrete, providing the structural backbone for load transfer and fire protection.

Müller-BBM Building Solutions was responsible for the energy performance planning, thermal envelope design, and building acoustics. Particular attention was paid to the thermal quality at the junctions between timber and concrete components. In terms of building acoustics, the focus was on reliably meeting sound insulation requirements in multi-residential housing—a challenge resulting from the combination of different construction materials and systems. The energy performance assessment was carried out in accordance with the KfW 55 EE efficiency standard.

The new residential buildings on Schützenstraße in Bad Tölz exemplify how sustainable construction practices can be implemented in urban contexts, offering a compelling model for climate-conscious urban housing. The project was selected for the 2024 “Architektouren” program by the Bavarian Chamber of Architects as an exemplary architectural development.
