Description
TRÆ consist of three buildings which are 6, 6, and 20 floors high. TRÆ is built in wood, concrete and glass, but also work with direct re-use, with upcycling and biobased 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.
Products
Dybø
recycled PET Acoustic Batts
Dybø PET felt is produced from used plastic bottles collected in Europe. It consists of 75% recycled PET and there is no waste in the production as all offcuts are recirculated back into production.
Hjælmø
end grain brick flooring
Hjælmø end grain floor is upcycled from offcuts and cut-outs accumulated during the production of pine glulam boards and window frames. The wood is sorted out due to knots, which do not matter in terms of durability and strength when used as a brick floor.
Funderø
Oak and Ash Upcycled Parquest Flooring
Funderø Classic Danish is a mix of ash and oak giving it a rich, classic look, that would fit any boardroom nicely. Funderø is upcycled from offcuts, originating from JUNCKERS‘ flooring production.
