The Urban Woods Delft is a high-tech apartment complex with 10 floors. There is hardly any concrete, because the building is constructed from leftover wooden pallets and demolition wood.
Project: The Urban Woods Delft
Client: The Urban Woods Delft
Architect: Urban Climate Architects
Homes: 10 floors / 102 homes
From waste mountain to residential tower, the home of the future...
The thick solid wooden 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 construction product. Or planetproof, as architect @Urban Climate Architects calls it.
The wooden circular homes are full of smart equipment to save energy and water. With a wooden shell, interior walls made of flax and wood fiber as insulation material, 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 very proud that our lightweight bio-based composite Duplicor® will be used in the facade of this project.
