Blumer-Lehmann AG
Cambridge Mosque
Cambridge, United Kingdom
Timber construction for the senses
The design by London-based Marks Barfield Architects draws on the motif of a garden of paradise, with the interweaving branches of the trees forming the supporting timber structure. The Blumer Lehmann Free Form-team advised the architects on the implementation of the challenging structure during the development phase. Our know-how of digital processes and parametric planning came to the fore during the subsequent production. Together with our partners, we developed a modular system with 2746 components in 145 variants, thus overcoming the complex challenges of production, logistics and assembly.
Maggie’s Centre |
Leeds UK
Roof garden for a relaxing atmosphere
A spectacular structure was designed by Heatherwick Studio for Maggie’s Cancer Centre in Leeds. The construction consits of three gently rounded pavilions of varying heights, which will be adorned with plants. In time, the entire builiding will be transformed into a lush garden, offering patients and their relatives an additional oasis in which to relax. Timber is being used as the construction material to create a pleasant atmosphere and emphasise the intended natural feel of Maggie’s in Leeds.

Wood: the cycle of life at the heart of everything we do as one of the leading timber construction and engineering companies in Switzerland, we have completed over 100 timber projects worldwide. Our aim is not only to build fascinating wooden structures but also to come full circle with this valuable material. Consequentially, we are involved in all areas of the economic and ecological timber supply chain.
Martin Bender and Martin Looser, responsible for international and Free Form projects are looking forward to getting in touch with you.

Lattich modular construction
St.Gallen Switzerland
A creative space with urban flair
The temporary construction of 48 timber modules offers creative minds the space they need to realise their plans and visions over the next 10 years. The timber modules were prefabricated in our factory and assembled on via a modular system. A major advantage of the modular construction is that it allows for precise planning of costs and scheduling. This type of construction also leads the way in terms of sustainability and mobility, providing added value for both the tenant and the city.

Urbach Tower
Remstal Stuttgart, Germany
Tower made from self-forming timber
The Urbach Tower is the world’s first structural application of a load-bearing timber construction in self-forming timber components. It can be viewed in the municipality of Urbach during the 2019 Remstal Garden Show. The striking form of the tower is the result of an innovative self-forming process for complex, curved components.
The research project was led by the ICD and IKTE institutes at the University of Stuttgart in collaboration with Switzerland’s ETH and Empa together with Blumer Lehmann as industrial partner.
