A 19.000 m2 office building has been build in Århus just nearby DOKK1. The project has been DGNB Gold certified. One of the tenants, Søren Jensen Engineering, insisted and fought for less climate-damaging choices of building components and interior to be used for their 3rd floor. In close corporation with building owner, Danica Ejendomme, they wanted to showcase how much that could be saved from another Danica Ejendomme estate called Nauticon, in Copenhagen. They have worked with bio based products, with 1-.1 direct re-use, and then also further chosen upcycled end grain brick flooring by a:gain. Finally, it was chosen to save demolition glass from Nauticon with demolisher, Tscherning, and upcycled by DEKO and a:gain into the new Tystø glass partition wall. Besides the demolition glass, the wood is discarded wood. The upcycled flooring emission is approved according to REIS Ref. 6F006139

At Østerfælled Torv in Copenhagen the property and asset manager, Capital Investment, has completed a transformation of the 2nd at a 500 m2 tenancy for office usage.
Capital Investment was recommended to commence at dialogue with a:gain, and a very good process was set up among the two companies. Firstly, a small delegation of 4 people visited the a:gain office. Secondly a small delegation visited two a:gain project references showcasing the a:gain Hjælmø end grain brick flooring and a:gain Tystø glass partition walls. Thirdly, specific drawings for Østerfælled Torv was run inspected and a:gain help in writing the text for the quotation of the project for contractors to bid on. Finally, in dialogue with floor contractor, TRIO Gulve, the upcycled floor was delivered and installed.
TRIO Gulve did a beautiful job and the results are astounding.

In Copenhagen Nordhavn, PensionDenmark is creating a DGNB Gold-certified office building. The general contractor, NCC, and the architect, PLH Architects, reached out to a:gain as a follow-up on meetings and dialogues between a:gain and PensionDenmark. In a good dialogue between the companies, it was agreed to purchase and install 950 m2 a:gain Funderø oak/ash flooring and to purchase 500 m2 of a:gain Dybø acoustics. These less climate-damaging materials are an additional feature of the project's sustainability efforts. Funderø Oak & Ash is a product from a a:gain, where the company focuses on upcycling floors.

TRÆ consist of three buildings which are 6, 6, and 20 floors high, built by using upcycled products. TRÆ is built in wood, concrete and glass, but also work with direct re-use, with biobased and upcycled products. Examples are discarded wind turbine blades, which, among other things, go through a series of fire tests before they are used on the facade. In addition, the project includes recycled facade panels, bricks, wood, double glazing and other materials that have been used before. Kilden & Hindby and stakeholders try to find, test and select materials along the way, and therefore cannot, for example, tell exactly how the facade will look, how the floors will be in the future offices or what kind of material is used for the acoustic ceilings. It is a new way of thinking and a different way of building, but we have a shared responsibility and an ambition to push the boundaries of how we build today. Now they try with TRÆ.

The pharmaceutical company is expanding. As a consequence, they also need more working spaces, also in the inner Copenhagen area.

The specialist interior designers, Laika Rum design, chose to specify and work with the a:gain upcycled Nærø acoustic batts mad of upcycled textiles. In this case, the connection between the respect of resources and the customer is very interlinked, as the textiles are worn-out NOVO lab uniforms. The wooden frames are made of discarded wood.

We find the design and the combination of colours made by Laika to be spot on!

Valhøj School accommodates children from ages 6 to 16 and has a sports profile. The existing campus is laid out on a generous site in the outskirts of Copenhagen. Due to a huge growth in student numbers in the coming years, the school requires extension through the addition of two new buildings and a re-think of the organization.
In good dialogue with architects from Matters, a:gain presented the possibility to use the a:gain Bronsø thermo treated cladding. Design possibilities, profile options and necessity and possibility of having fire treatment of the wood were talked through. And, in good process with contractor, Lund Tømrer, the additional information on installation was run through.
The result is beautiful.

Novo Nordisk Innovation Lab is a unique project for a:gain. In Novo Nordisk Innovation Lab, only repurposed materials have been used in the building proces. Several of the repurposing solutions are made from Novo Nordisk's own waste. Especially Novo Nordisk's used insulin pens have been used, both in a kitchen table top, interior panelling for the toilets and as aggregate in cement flooring.

The engineering company, ABC Rådgivende Ingeniører, has a strong focus on structural engineering but creates partnerships with other engineering disciplines. Sustainability has had an ever-increasing focus. A strong focus and competence area within wooden structures is one visible proof of this focus. Additionally, a team of DGNB consultants is growing, and as a part of ABC Engineering moving from Rødovre to Glostrup, there was a desire to try to incorporate upcycled furniture in the cantina area. Upcycled furniture does not in itself solve the issue we face with scarce resources. However, risk levels (opposed to e.g. the primary structural elements of a building) are low and furthermore, they act as a conversation starter. A conversation on how we as a society can, and must, prevent materials from being incinerated or deposited. A fun fact about this delivery is that the revenue made by a:gain, was reinvested directly into an additional firestop test at DBI of the a:gain Bronsø wooden façade. It passed the test, thereby enabling a 2.500 m2 order of Bronsø to succeed for another project made by Skanska. All small actions lead to larger successes, also when it comes to saving scarce resources.

Carls Øl – og Spisehus is the area’s social gathering and food house. The restaurant is in an area with a history of the many hundreds of brewery employees who lived in Carlsbergbyen’s workers’ housing from 1847 until the turn of the millennium. Carlsbergbyen’s new beer and dining house has fantastic energy and offers experiences to residents and visitors in the area. The owners wanted to decorate with respect to the history of the area and it was, therefore, obvious to include the Fusø tabletops. The Fusø DraughtMaster Tabletops create a dynamic interplay between the raw frames and the aesthetic quality of the material that comes together well at Carl's. The addition of these tabletops will surely bring up new conversations and new experiences at Carls Øl- og Spisehus.

Augusthus / Woods is an office building and sustainable initiative that through its design creates opportunities for office leases in varying sizes, located near Copenhagen. It is a multifunctional building, that shapes the office facilities of the future. The facade cladding of the inner courtyard is our upcycled Bronsø Thermo Wood Cladding, in a paired down and fairly strict version visually. However, whilst the boards may be of similar lengths and widths, the pieces are fairly short, allowing us to repurpose offcuts from other production.

The circular, Danish furniture brand Mater has joined forces with a:gain to reproduce a garden furniture collection first created in 1955 by the 20th century’s most renowned design couple: Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel. Mater and a:gain released this collection in mid-May 2021 and the very first customer for these products was of course Carlsberg. They have ordered chairs and tables for their new water recycling plant in Fredericia and their HQ Terrace. The chairs and tables fit perfectly in Carlsberg's environments around their HQ and Water Recycling Plant bringing a touch of Danish design. To sit on products made out of their own waste will for sure encourage talks about circular economy.

The 100 m2 wooden summerhouse has been built with a focus on direct re-use, on upcycling and on bio based products. It is built to be shared among two families, and with integrated outdoor sheds and a 50 m2 terasse facing West towards the great forest. It has been the intention to incorporate high quality craftmanship and working with Winther, which is a 6th generation family carpentry company, ensures just that.  The design and construction followed 5 dogmas: 1) climate friendly house with low emission materials and with minimal foundation, 2) a resource-efficient house in bio based materials, with direct re-usage and with industrially upcycled products, 3) a house for family sharing and m2 optimization, 4) a high quality craftmanship house and with a roof overhang and materials that are easy to maintain, and finally, 5) a house which fits to the surroundings. Building owners have had close dialogues with Ekovilla (paper wool insulation), with Hunton and Økonatur (bio based sub-roof construction and vapor barrier), with a:gain (Bronsø upcycled façade and terasse wood, Viddø upcycled glass façade and upcycled indoor cladding), with Greendozer (direct re-use beech parquet flooring and bathroom interior), with Velux (oven light and active steering), with Stykka (circular kitchen) and BioMason (bio cement tiles).

At the micro coffee roastery at Bjæverskov, Zealand, Kaffeværkstedet experienced non-satisfactory acoustics within the office. The owners Claus and Christian are very conscious about the sourcing of their coffee, and that they uphold the highest standards in sustainability. Hence, as they heard about a:gain, they reached out for guidance and a waste-based solution. It meant a lot to them that the production had been done in Denmark and had created local labor and jobs in Denmark. When they found out that our KIØ acoustic panels came in a surface treatment of the wood called Dark Coffee, the choice naturally fell on those. The acoustic panels provided the perfect sustainable solution, not only ensuring an improved soundscape within the office but also supporting a green(er) transition of the real estate business.
