A combination concrete and timber structure project in Asomatos, Limassol, Cyprus, integrates the strengths of both materials to create a sustainable and aesthetically appealing building. Civil engineers design a hybrid framework where reinforced concrete is used for the foundation, lower floors, and load-bearing walls, providing stability and resistance to seismic forces, while timber is employed for the upper floors and roof structure, offering a lightweight, eco-friendly solution. The timber components are carefully selected for their durability and treated for resistance against Cyprus’s coastal climate. Engineers focus on optimizing the synergy between concrete and timber, ensuring seamless integration while meeting local building codes and sustainability goals. This innovative project emphasizes energy efficiency, with natural insulation properties of timber complementing the thermal mass of concrete to reduce energy consumption. By combining the best of both materials, the project aims to deliver a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious building that aligns with modern construction trends in Cyprus.
