Circular Raw Materials Collection Station: Sustainable Timber Construction, Biobased and CLT Design for a Low-Carbon Future in Lansingerland (NL)

Circular design for the Lansingerland Raw Materials Collection Station

Urban Climate Architects, in collaboration with the Municipality of Lansingerland, has created a groundbreaking design for the Raw Materials Collection Station in Bergschenhoek. This innovative building puts the circular economy into practice, with a focus on biobased construction, timber construction and CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber). The result? A low-carbon, nature-inclusive building that not only meets the Paris Proof requirements, but also shows how circular principles shape the future of architecture.

Timber Construction and CLT: Sustainable Construction Techniques

The main building is made entirely of solid wood, with CLT floors that form the basis for the flexibility and strength of the structure. This innovative material reduces CO2 emissions during construction, and by opting for timber construction, the ecological impact is significantly reduced. The building actively contributes to a low-carbon future, where sustainability is not just a choice, but the norm.

Biobased construction and recycled materials

The design makes intensive use of biobased materials and recycled raw materials. The facades are covered with locally collected paving stones, which not only promote the circular economy, but also contribute to the social and environmental sustainability of the project. Every detail of the building is focused on maximizing reuse, closing material flows and minimizing waste.

Low-carbon and nature-inclusive design

This building is not only sustainable in terms of materials, but also in its impact on the environment. The design is nature-inclusive, minimizing the ecological footprint while promoting biodiversity. It meets the requirements of Paris Proof designs, thereby contributing to achieving global climate goals by limiting CO2 emissions.

With the Raw Materials Collection Station, the Municipality of Lansingerland shows that circular construction is not just a vision, but an active step towards a sustainable and circular future.
