About

Rainer Strauch is an experienced construction engineer, certified passive house designer (PHI), accredited sustainable building auditor (DGNB) and Managing Director of CREE Buildings. He worked with several companies in planning and construction management, before he joined the LCT (“LifeCycle Tower”) research and development team, which was later established as CREE (by Rhomberg). At CREE, Strauch developed the LCT timber-hybrid system, which then became the basis for CREE’s prototype building (the LCT ONE), and many more.
