The project

In Basel, Mathis designed one of the world’s largest timber aircraft hangars, designed to accommodate wide-body aircrafts such as the Boeing 747.

The glue-laminated structure spans an impressive 90 meters, offering 90-minute fire resistance and the capacity to support 5-ton overhead bridge cranes.

Each part was crafted, transported, and assembled with the utmost precision, meeting the strict safety and reliability standards expected in the aviation industry.

This large-scale project is testimony to Mathis’s expertise and mastery in structural design.

Wood has crafted our story.

It gives form, ignites the imagination, and uncovers meaning. With Mathis, wood takes on a language of its own.
