The first Swiss wooden tower block

In Rotkreuz, canton Zug, Switzerland's first timber tower block is being built. It's a ten-storey, 36-metre-high building that has been constructed in record time, using wood as its main raw material. New fire regulations and construction techniques have made this building possible. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
