The self-service store “teo” from tegut is open 24 hours a day and offers more than 950 items for everyday needs. In addition, teo is a rest area, offers a bicycle parking space including a pump and tools, a dog station and a book exchange shelf. At some locations, the self-service box is also equipped with a DHL station or e-bike charging station. The roof is planted with wildflowers, herbs and grasses and serves as a habitat for insects and ground-nesting birds.

Originally, the modules were planned with a plywood construction. However, the HASSLACHER group succeeded in revising the construction and statics accordingly, primarily using solid wood products from the HASSLACHER group. The self-service boxes are now manufactured with HASSLACHER glued laminated timber, which is specially shaped as a rigid frame corner using a general finger joint. Cross laminated timber serves both as a space-forming and bracing element. Of the 20 teos being produced by the HASSLACHER group, eight have already been delivered to their target location succesfully. Switzerland is also showing great interest in the new modular constructed boxes.
