Machiels Building Solutions is building 80 energy-efficient holiday homes for Center Parcs in Germany's Eifel region.
GENK / Eifel - Good news for Machiels Building Solutions: the timber-frame construction specialist has signed another agreement with Center Parcs, part of the Pierre et Vacances / Center Parcs group, for the production and assembly of 80 holiday homes. The holiday park, Park Eifel, will completely reopen its doors in mid-2023.
Nearly zero energy new builds for flagship projects 'Ter Dauten' and 'In de Bres'
Want to roll out an affordable housing project involving timber-frame construction and an E-level of 30 or less? Two flagship eco-projects in Belgium, 'Ter Dauten' (20 homes in Diepenbeek) and 'In de Bres' (16 new-build units in Genk), show that this can be done. Aside from their obvious environmental benefits, nearly zero energy homes, as they are known, also reduce residents' energy bills. The reason for the low E-level can be found in the production process. Timber-frame construction enables optimal insulation without very thick walls, because each panel is made as watertight and airtight as possible during prefabrication in the production plant.
Maintenance-free timber façade for a car and cycle park for commuters
Next to Aalst railway station in Belgium is a covered parking facility with spaces for 900 cars and 750 bicycles. This car and cycle park is a good example of timber-frame façade construction: the façade elements are finished to the last detail in the production facility before being transported to the station site and fit seamlessly into the metal suspension system on the concrete basic structure. Machiels Building Solutions was commissioned by THV Besix-Jan De Nul to install the façade on a site with little room for manoeuvre, without disrupting rail services and before the concrete structure was fully completed. Add those time savings to the creative finishing possibilities and the maintenance-friendly nature of timber-frame construction, and you can see why the Belgian railway company SNCB opted for this solution.
