🌿 Architects and contractors are embracing earth blocks! 🌿 In our Living Lab, we see how earth blocks are making their way into mainstream construction through the efforts of architects and contractors. Our partner Democo, a renowned contractor, is already applying earth blocks in several large-scale projects. They shared their experience: "Our own bricklayers really enjoyed working with these earth blocks, especially in cases where they were bonded with the Léém adhesive mortar. The softness of the material (compared to cement) was a real plus." For a2o architects, earth blocks are a deliberate choice for a sustainable vision: 🧱 “As architects, we consciously choose earth blocks – a solid foundation for circular construction, offering solutions from housing to public spaces.” 👉 Follow us as we continue to highlight how earth blocks are driving change in the construction industry! photo 1-2: Rectory in Beverst by a2o, earth blocks by, BC materials, contracter @NV Reynders Louis bouwbedrijf Mark Reynders - photo: Jochen Cielen photo 3-4: project TANNAT by BLAF architecten, earth blocks by BC materials, contracter Democo Group #LivingLab #EarthBlocks #SustainableBuilding #CircularEconomy #Architects #Contractors Living Lab Leemsteen is a project with support of VLAIO - Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship and executed in collaboration with our project partners: Hasselt University, Democo, Buildwise, a2o, @BrickZ, BC materials
