Dutch architect Powerhouse Company has revealed its #design for a modular #timber, 82-unit social housing project in #Rotterdam that it says is demountable. The 12-storey, 40m-high Valckensteyn #housing block will be built in Pendrecht, a southern suburb of Rotterdam built during the city’s post-war #reconstruction, and now suffering from social deprivation. The largest timber #building of its kind in the #Netherlands, it will occupy the site of an earlier social housing #project of the same name. Stefan Prins, the lead #architect, said the aim of the design was to “showcase the harmony of concrete stability and wooden #innovation, where #sustainability meets affordability”. About 85% of the building will be taken up by the timber elements, stiffened by a #concrete elevator core. The timber #structure will be light enough to use the old #foundations, thereby cutting out a whole package of works. The building itself will be built up from a range of factory-fabricated cross-laminated-timber modules laid on a plinth clad in travertine, a sedimentary rock. These are assembled without the use of glue, meaning the building can be demounted rather than #demolished at the end of its life. The lower storeys have floor-to-ceiling windows, and the flats on the western #facade have wide balconies. The flower gardens and arboretum were designed by Rotterdam firm LAP Landscape & Urban Design with #biodiversity in mind. The client for the project is the Woonstad Rotterdam Housing Corporation. Dutch engineer IOB handles the structural and #MEP elements, and was also the #QS. The #cost of the project has not been revealed.

Architects are turning to hemp for its eco-friendly benefits in construction. Hempcrete, known for capturing twice its weight in carbon and offering insulation, moisture, and fire resistance, is gaining traction. Its sustainability is making it a popular choice in reducing the carbon footprint of the building industry. https://buff.ly/4hJr1E4 #SustainableArchitecture

Anyone who is involved in designing with SIPSs would do well to get a copy of this recently published book by Hugh Morrison, an ex colleague from my Anthony Hunt Associates days. Incidentally, I proofread the book for Hugh last summer, and can highly recommend it: https://lnkd.in/e3cy7g3U #SIPs #StructuralDesign #TimberConstruction #SustainableDesign #HouseDesign
