read all about it

With the opening of the Klinik Gut in Fläsch in 2017, an architecturally and technologically innovative project was realized. A distinctive feature is the carbon concrete facade with a wood-like surface texture, which gives the building a modern yet warm appearance and sets new standards for the use of carbon concrete in building construction.

Project Discription

The architectural concept was developed by the renowned office Bearth & Deplazes Architekten AG from Chur, known for its contemporary and context-oriented architecture. The facade elements were prefabricated and installed by Sulser AG, which produced all carbon concrete components at its own facility.
The façade combines aesthetic quality and functionality: while the profiled surface with its wood texture creates a natural and inviting character, it remains durable and permanently color-stable – unlike real wood, which weathers and turns grey over time.

Technical Details

• Number of facade elements: 2,288 pieces
• Dimensions: lengths from approx. 3.7 m to 1.4 m | width approx. 20 cm | thickness 2.5 to 6 cm
• Reinforcement: custom-shaped carbon grid reinforcement solidian GRID Form Q95-CCE-38
• Material: fiber-reinforced concrete C30/37
• Facade area: 1,147 m²
• Surface: profiled wood-like structure without weathering effects
• Anchoring: undercut anchor system

Durch die schlanken und leichten Carbonbetonelemente konnte eine effiziente und zugleich hochwertige Fassadenlösung umgesetzt werden, die sowohl ästhetische als auch bauphysikalische Anforderungen erfüllt.
