Astel Modular, in collaboration with residential buildings developer Norrterna, has taken on the challenge to design and manufacture wooden buildings that are 8-9 floor high for the new apartment building projects in Karlskrona. Although the wooden construction technologies are evolving rapidly, it is uncommon to see wooden buildings over 5 storeys high.
2019 marked the end of our first large scale construction project in Norway. We completed a micro-apartment building in a Norwegian ski resort for seasonal accommodation of the resort’s employees.
One of the latest completed works of Astel Modular is a complex of four apartment buildings in Bandhagen, Stockholm. As usual, we completed the prefabricated modules for the buildings in our house factories and transported them for assembly in Stockholm.
The town of Dormagen in Germany ordered two dormitory type buildings from us, both of them with capacity to house 80 people.
The floors of the dormitories have water heating and the houses have central water heating system. The biggest challenge for us considering this project was to create the necessary documentation which goes according to the byrocacy of the building institutions in Germany.
