Description

Epic Skanska is an office project in Malmö, which represents a new generation of modern and sustainable initiatives for office buildings with a big focus on health and well-being. In the atrium, the focus has been on using repurposed and upcycled building materials. For the Epic Skanska project, 17,000 m2 of acoustic panels of upcycled wood, from worn-out window frames and demolition wood from Skanska's own demolition, have been delivered. The acoustic panels also consist of an underlying felt made of repurposed plastic (PET). 400 m2 of concrete tiles have been laid in sand, on the floor. Aggregate in the concrete tiles is brick residues from the brickworks that have produced the facade stones for the building.
