SUSTAINORDIC’s Post

Super excited to witness how this will turn out. As a researcher and designer myself, I have become very interested in studying materials and their efficacy in the built-environment, looking for sustainable solutions and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to help make such studies come to life. This is something I would definitely love some training on #sustainability #regenerativedesign #bauhaus #berlin #architecture #constructionmaterials #greenbuilding

I’m excited to share the story of Mannheim’s U-Halle, a powerful example of architecture’s potential to connect us to our roots while guiding us toward a sustainable future. This project isn’t just about transforming a building; it’s about transforming our relationship with the spaces we inherit. In a world where materials are increasingly scarce, U-Halle highlights the importance of revitalising existing spaces and making resource-conscious choices. Imagine a world where every building is valued, where life is revived in old walls, creating places that inspire and connect. U-Halle stands as a reminder that sustainability in architecture goes beyond materials and technology; it's about respecting what’s already here, reimagining it with care, and creating spaces that resonate deeply with the community. As material shortages and environmental concerns reshape our industry, projects like U-Halle show us that the future of architecture lies in rethinking our built heritage, creating meaningful spaces that enrich communities while reducing our environmental impact.

Join us on the 22nd of November in Berlin at the #Klimafestival to explore how sustainable design and innovative material choices can redefine residential architecture. 🌍✨" 🌍 How can we rethink single-family homes to create a better relationship between people, materials, and nature? 🌍 How can we replace materials like concrete with bio-based and recycled alternatives while maintaining structural integrity and warmth? 🌍What if architecture prioritized care—not just for residents, but for the community and the planet as well? At the Klimafestival, I’ll join Helge Flöge from GLAPOR SCHAUMGLASPRODUKTE to present insights from our latest project—a house that redefines the concept of a single-family home. This project embodies sustainability, community, and harmony with nature. It’s designed and built with optimism, using materials like hemp, clay, woodfiber, recycled glass, and second-hand elements to minimize environmental impact while enhancing the health and well-being of its inhabitants. We hope this house becomes a "reference home"—a source of inspiration and knowledge for those committed to natural building practices. Join us as we share experiences and discuss: ✔️ Why we are looking for alternatives to concrete foundations. ✔️ How bio-based and recycled materials can revolutionize residential architecture. ✔️ The role of care as a foundational principle in sustainable design. Together, let’s explore how architecture can rise to meet environmental challenges and create homes that truly care for both people and the planet.

Reading about inspirational pieces of architecture to draw some inspiration in my work is a general practice for me at least once a week. On one of my recent scrolls for the same lead me to stumbled upon the CopenHill in Copenhagen, Denmark, designed by the renowned BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group. What makes it exemplary? · Hedonistic Sustainability: CopenHill embodies the concept of "Hedonistic Sustainability," combines waste-to-energy with a ski slope and climbing wall for public enjoyment. · Landmark Architecture: Clean lines and a unique design of CopenHill makes it a symbol of Copenhagen's sustainable future. · Community Engagement: Public involvement from concept to rooftop design fosters ownership and pride. · Waste Management Innovation: CopenHill sets a new standard for waste management with its clean energy production. · Future-Proofing Cities: The structure integrates sustainability and recreation, paving the way for future generations. Lessons for Residential Developers CopenHill's success offers a blueprint for residential developers. The project emphasizes how sustainable design can be both beautiful and functional. By engaging residents in the design process, developers can foster a sense of belonging and community. Additionally, CopenHill highlights the potential of multi-functional buildings that maximize space and create vibrant environments.   What innovative ways can we integrate sustainability and community engagement into our residential projects? How can we design spaces that inspire joy and a connection to the environment?   #ExemplaryArchitecture #SustainableDesign #CopenHill #UrbanInnovation #GreenArchitecture #FutureCities #WasteManagement

At Skyshade, we’re leading the charge in sustainable architecture with our daylighting technology, Norikool. This innovative solution captures and diffuses natural light throughout Commercial and residential spaces , significantly reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant well-being.   Norikool is more than just a product; it’s a commitment to a greener future. By integrating advanced systems like prismatic glazing and light tubes, Norikool ensures optimal light distribution, even in the most challenging areas. This not only cuts energy costs but also creates healthier, more productive environments.   Embrace the future of sustainable design with Norikool. Let’s illuminate a brighter, more sustainable world together. #Skyshade #SustainableArchitecture #DaylightingTechnology #Norikool #GreenBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #NaturalLight #SustainableDesign #LightTubes #ReduceEnergyConsumption #ProductiveSpaces #InnovativeSolutions #GreenFuture #BrightFuture #BuildingSustainability

Let's throw back to a project reference we've completed in 2019! We're excited to present Upcycle Studio, a pioneering development that stands as the world’s first commercially scaled circular housing project. Located in Ørestaden, Copenhagen, this innovative project consists of 20 terraced houses designed to push the boundaries of sustainable architecture. This project, led by the Lendager Group in collaboration with building owner Nrep and contractor AG Gruppen achieved impressive environmental results. In line with its circular economy principles, Upcycle Studios incorporated 75% of its windows from public housing in North Jutland, used 1,000 tonnes of concrete waste from the Copenhagen Metro, and built floors, walls, and facades with upcycled wood offcuts from Dinesen. What a:gain [again] delivered? We delivered a pre-development mock-up project delivery of Viddø in which we encountered the issues with using demolition facade glass for new facades. Instead, today we use demolition facade glass to make our interior glass partition walls, Tystø, where our Viddø is made from discarded pre-consumer industrial glass. This groundbreaking project showcases the potential of circular design and responsible building practices. 🌱🏠 #CircularEconomy #UpcycleStudios #SustainableArchitecture

Documented in DETAIL 6.2024 Climate and Resources: Het Bosbad Housing in Eindhoven (NL) by GAAGA Circularity, simple reversibility and the desire to create residential space in proximity to the natural environment were the conceptual focus of the housing structure Het Bosbad. About 400 peeled eucalyptus logs provide the design with a striking visual impression. The reuse of these construction components is possible without difficulty. For the design, the Delft-based architecture office Gaaga found inspiration in the Japanese nature therapy method of #ShinrinYoku. Translated literally, the term means “forest bathing”. The property offers ideal preconditions for this purpose. Bordering a large park, it is situated at the northeastern tip of the urban development zone of Bosrijk, west of Eindhoven. According to Gaaga, 85% of building materials can be reused or recycled. Hardwood boards that previously served as embankment were applied as facade siding. The primary structure consists of prefabricated concrete elements with detachable bolt connectors.
