Social Housing designed for reuse

Circle House is the world’s first Social Housing built from circular principles. This entails that the building is designed for reversibility – to be disassembled, and it is the goal that 90% of used materials can be reused without losing value.

30 companies from all part of the value chain of construction form the partner group of the project. While we would usually work with wood-based construction systems that are nearly always built to be reversible, concrete is the main material in this project.

Prefabricated concrete is the most commonly used structural system in Denmark, and because concrete is so dominant in the national building culture, even small steps towards a more sustainable use has a large impact.
