The work yard of the Holzkorporation Dübendorf, is situated right along the edge of the woods, nestled in a community called Geeren. With the building of the new structure, the complex was extended towards the forest. Six glued spruce wood binders form the primary structure, each of which is connected to three roof beam and a girder on one side. The wood construction sits on a concrete foundation, which slopes naturally along the terrain. Four steel cable crosses reinforce the structure in the middle binder field.
