The building H7 at the city port in Münster, Germany, extends between the organic cheese plant and the company grounds of Cronos GmbH. The 7-story hybrid-construction building is the highest building of its kind in North Rhine/Westphalia. The land building code currently in force permits flammable materials as structural members only for buildings with a maximum of three stories. With the hybrid structural concept – here, timber combined with reinforced concrete – however, enables intelligent conformity with this regulation.
