The superstructure for the first equitable 4-story CheiChei Living building assembled with African engineered Timber on the African continent has been completed and fit-out is well underway. The first residents are scheduled to move-in early in the second quarter of 2025. This project has been an incredible experience; re-thinking the way to construct with engineered timber sourced and manufactured in Africa instead of in the global north. The complete project will consist of 20 buildings in various configurations accommodating studio up to 3-bedroom apartments as well as duka's and work/shops on ground floor. Construction for the next 8 buildings has already commenced. With the CheiChei Living and other projects constructed with biobased and local materials we aim to change the narrative of sustainable and affordable construction in Africa. Our various projects realized and under construction in East Africa show the potential of this approach. A big thank you to all partners who have made these projects possible! #sustainable #timberconstruction #biobased #CheiChei #FumbaTown #Zanzibar #CPS #VolksHouse #KnippersHelbig #MTT #studioOMTarchitects for more information on the CheiChei Living project do visit our website: https://lnkd.in/disEVYgk

Once again there are plans in Berlin to demolish an important historical building without first fundamentally & holistically examining (grey energy, life cycle costs, reuse potential...) whether preservation and conversion would not make more sense... #reuse #recycling #greyenergy #graueenergie #bauwende #abrissisover #sustainable #architecture

The question of whether it makes sense to demolish old buildings is a major issue in Berlin. Especially when considering the overall picture, demolition and new construction is no longer justifiable today. In this project, however, the historical background and the unique architectural language are already good reasons to preserve the ensemble!  #abrissisover #graueenergie #greyenergy#bauwende #SUSTAINABLEARCHITECTURE

Something to think about starting the New Year. In construction we have more sustainable alternatives like (mass) timber, if only those investing in real estate would put their money into these alternatives instead of optimizing profits through conventional construction.
