Did you know? Wood has the power to significantly reduce emissions in our rapidly growing urban landscape. With 2.3 billion new urban dwellers needing housing and commercial spaces by 2050, the choice of building materials is crucial. According to UNECE, opting for wood could cut emissions by 150 million tCO2e annually, while storing an extra 0.52 billion tCO2e in buildings. How can we harness the potential of wood to build a greener future? Let's explore sustainable solutions together. #SustainableCities #WoodSustainability #ClimateAction #Wood #Lumber #Concrete #Steel #LumberDistributor #WoodSupplier

C o n s t r u c t i o n  P r o g r e s s Exciting progress on the 'Moringa' building site! We're proud to be working alongside WTM Engineers GmbH on this groundbreaking development, led by Moringa GmbH (Landmarken AG). As Germany’s first Cradle-to-Cradle residential high-rise, this eco-friendly project in #HafenCity, #Hamburg, is setting new benchmarks for sustainable urban living. The 'Moringa' complex, designed by kadawittfeldarchitektur, will feature 190 residential units, including subsidised housing, alongside co-working and co-living spaces. The buildings are arranged around a lush green courtyard, creating more green space—both horizontally and vertically—than is built over. The façade will act as a 'green lung', enhancing air quality, reducing heat, and contributing to biodiversity in the area. Following the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy, the project utilises recyclable and healthy materials, designed for easy dismantling and reuse, showcasing the future of circular construction. With completion set for 2025, 'Moringa' is poised to usher in a new era of sustainable living in HafenCity. Photo: B+G #CradleToCradle #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #CircularEconomy #EcoLiving
