Description
The Resource Rows, in Ørestaden, is a lighthouse project, within recycling of building materials. Resource efficiency and optimised utilisation of resources are the main themes of the project. The building has a very characteristic aesthetic, as the brick facades are cut outs, taken directly from buildings that were to be demolished. Pieces of 1 m² brickwork have been cut out and then incorporated into new facade elements. The building has a well utilised roof area, where each terraced house gets its own small wooden roof house, made of 100% repurposed materials.

Products
Recycled brick facade
Made with cutout brick elements from around Copenhagen. The facade is created by mixing various brick cut outs and re-casting in a mould.
Oak offcut flooring
Solid wood flooring made with Dinesen oak offcuts. It is rare to see solid wood in many newer developments, especially solid oak, which adds a touch of class and quality to all the terraced houses.
