At Stilles, we are beginning the execution of a new demanding project in collaboration with NOAH, a Slovenian manufacturer of low-energy prefabricated houses and timber structures based in Maribor.
Together, we will be working on the construction of a CLT (cross-laminated timber) roof structure for a new hotel building in Maribor. The project stands out primarily due to its architectural complexity—the building features a distinctive elliptical shape, which results in a roof composed of numerous uniquely shaped elements.
The total roof area will be approximately 1,500 m², incorporating around 240 m³ of CLT panels with a thickness of 160 mm. Due to the geometry of the building, each roof element will be unique, requiring precise design, coordination between partners, and a high level of technical preparation.
Projects like this represent an important step in the use of modern timber structural systems in demanding architectural designs. The combination of complex geometry, large spans, and natural materials creates a structure that brings together sustainability, aesthetic value, and structural efficiency.
For the teams at Stilles and NOAH, this project represents both an exciting challenge and an opportunity for further collaboration in the field of modern timber construction and larger public buildings.
