  • Architheke builds new parish hall

    Architheke builds new parish hall

    The Reformed Church Wettingen-Neuenhof wants to build a smaller community center in Wettingen. The reason for this is declining membership, which is forcing the church to make savings. According to the municipality on Facebook, the winner of the architectural competition for the project is the Architeke office from Brugg. The Facebook message refers to a report by the "Badener Tagblatt" with the details of the project and the reasons for the decision.

    The conclusion of the project competition is considered an important milestone in the church on the way to implementing the real estate strategy 2030. This states that the church congregation is concentrating on one location. In doing so, they dispensed with the two existing parish houses in Wettingen (built in 1969) and Neuenhof (built in 1956) and built a smaller one instead. The repair of the existing church community buildings would be disproportionately expensive and the available space would be oversized.

    The jury report quoted the following about the winning project by Architheke: "Overall, the project impresses with its independent, clear concept with the spacious and versatile outdoor spaces and an appropriateness and lightness." In addition, it can also be implemented economically and sustainably. The new parish hall should form a new, smaller ensemble with the existing church and rectory.

    From now on, preparations are underway to be able to submit a loan application for the project planning to the parish assembly.

  • Hächler rebuilds Spreitenbacher Waldhütte

    Hächler rebuilds Spreitenbacher Waldhütte

    Hächler AG from Wettingen has rebuilt the forest hut belonging to the municipality of Spreitenbach, which had become dilapidated due to subsidence. From spring onwards, the forest hut will again be available to citizens for festive occasions with 40 seats, according to the press release . There is a new hall with a fitted kitchen and an open fireplace both inside and outside.

    The new building in the middle of the forest on Heitersberg became necessary because of subsidence. The forest hut was built in 1968 and renovated in 1990. According to the Hächler Group, the municipality of Spreitenbach decided to rebuild the popular forest hut due to the subsidence of the ground by around 20 centimeters. In May 2020, the timber construction department at Hächler AG was awarded the contract to build the new forest hut.

    According to a report submitted by Günter Ebner, Head of Timber Construction at Hächler, the replacement building in timber element construction in the Neuenhof workshop was prefabricated in the same dimensions as the old hut. The finished wall elements with built-in electrical preparation and cutting of the roof components were produced in just three weeks. The shell assembly in the forest on the Heitersberg was carried out with millimeter precision using the company's own truck crane. The inner wall surfaces made of multi-layer panels in spruce and fir were protected from moisture during assembly. According to the Hächler report, only ecological and sustainable building materials were used.

    The materials are technically state-of-the-art and enable a comfortable room climate as well as heat, cold and noise protection. The combination of vapor-permeable and multi-layer materials with good soundproofing properties would have made this concept of the forest hut a really great project, construction manager Ebner is quoted as saying.

    21 cubic meters of domestic spruce wood, 45 cubic meters of mineral insulation and 450 square meters of multilayer wood panels were used for the supporting structure.
