Well, timber frame is basically the opposite of solid construction, I have no personal experience with that. Instead of your cooling trench, I would plan a split air conditioner on the upper floor. At least for sleeping and possibly office rooms. I also wanted to cool via the floor at first, but I imagine that feels unpleasant underfoot. If you want 20°C inside, the floor would need to be at least 15°C.We are building a KfW40 house using timber frame construction. Since we will definitely have good shading and will generally pay the best possible attention to the other boundary conditions (windows closed, etc.), I am currently only a little worried about the warm outside air being drawn in. And here is exactly the point, if you can pre-cool this air with little effort, that sounds like THE solution at least... But I have no idea how much effort that would be.
