    NUR-HOLZ

    Glue-free wooden social housing

    Weert, Netherlands
    Wonen Limburg installed 16 social housing units made almost entirely of glue-free wood. Even the screws are made of wood. The entirely biologically and technically recyclable homes have a fast production process that uses less CO2 than “traditional” construction, and the wood stores CO2. The houses have a high R-value and a comfortable living environment. The residents experience the homes as calming, and there are good acoustics.

    ELEMENTerial bus stop

    ELEMENTerial: Bus stop out of wooden house factory residues

    Tallinn, Estonia
    This small architectural form suggest a possible method or a potential product that would valorise the waste material in timber industry. When cutting out wooden wall elements from plate materials such as CLT (cross-laminated-timber), there are often leftovers like window and door openings. This residual material allows the wood to be seen as mid-scaled building blocks – neither log nor a whole wall, but a new LEGO piece for sustainable zero waste architecture.

    "Bikes and Rails", a housing project

    "Bikes and rails", a new type of sustainable and cooperative social housing

    Vienna, Austria
    As part of the subsidized Viennese housing project, the community of residents created a multi-storey wooden house that gives the district a social boost. The administration is carried out jointly. It is a passive house that is supplied from passive solar use, PV and urban district heating. Instead of a car garage, there is a garage for bicycles. A new type of financing model makes the project accessible to people without capital and removes the building from the market and speculation.
