From landfill to residential tower, the house of the future...
The thick solid wood panels that are created comply with European regulations, reduce CO2 emissions and are of course circular. Or better yet... it is up-cycling: low-grade wood becomes a high-grade building product. Or planetproof, as architect @Urban Climate Architects calls it.
The wooden circular homes are full of smart devices to save energy and water. With a wooden shell, interior walls made of flax and wood fiber as insulation, the building is almost entirely bio-based. The material is also adaptable to changing needs in the future and reusable. With a BREEAM outstanding score, the highest possible score on this important sustainability assessment. In the Netherlands there are only a few buildings with this super score.
We are of course super proud that our lightweight bio-based composite Duplicor® will be used in the facade of this project.
