WE COVER EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN DOME STRUCTURES TIMBER-ZERO CARBON

The Ensphere Concept Ensphere is a radical departure from traditional structural systems. It is based on the simple concept that any rigid, double curvature dome can be supported directly on the ground, to rise freely over all internal structures and across the expanse of space to be enclosed. THE POWER OF NATURE N A T U RE I S S I M P L E A N D G EN I U S _ Structure, nature and human behaviour are all based on genetic molecular structures. Haring employs its innovative engineering skills worldwide, using renewable building materials to create highly complex structures.

o n l y s p ac e Since the 1980s, we have been looking for ways to utilise these conditions to create an optimum space from sustainable timber as simply and elegantly as possible. In other words – a space that can be exploited to the full, a building comprising only a roof or a geodesic dome. F OR M F O L L O W S F U N C T I ON There is no better form for bringing everything together under a single roof. The Ensphere concept has been designed specifically with these dome structures in mind. It enables us to create freestanding overarching domes with a span of up to 200 meters or a surface...

T I M B ER S T R U C T U RES This design concept replaces walls and support columns with a simple shell surface and a below-grade tie-beam structure. Thanks to the physical and mechanical properties of gluelam timber, the shell is light and elastic, enabling construction even on problematic sites with low soil bearing capability and earthquake hazard zones. SUNNY SIDE UP SP A C E SO L U T I ONS I N T I M B ER T E C HNO L O G Y _ The versatility and enduring aesthetic appeal of wood has never been stronger than it is today. That’s why designers and builders continue to develop new engineered...

This unrivalled system enables large areas of more than 32,000 m2 to be spanned without support. Its optical rectilinearity makes for effective and structurally sound geometry. Our patented joint generates the rigidity required for large-scale shell diameters. D O M E S T R U C T U RES A RE I D E A L F OR - SPOR T S S T A D I U M S - MUSIC HALLS
