Project Description
The Biological House—a new sustainable housing typology that introduces a circular solution model for future resource consumption and cycles in Denmark.
The house is the future’s answer to the ultimate sustainable and modern home, built exclusively from surplus products from the agricultural industry. Supported by the Ministry of the Environment’s fund for Ecological Construction with 4.0 million kroner.
All materials are based on 100 percent biological byproducts from Danish agriculture and food production, with a focus on green growth and a healthy indoor climate.
A composite is a material made up of two or more materials that, when combined, have stronger properties than they do individually. Biocomposites consist of biological ingredients—such as flax fibers, cork, corn, and soybeans—that can serve as environmentally friendly alternatives to fiberglass and aluminum.
