In the construction of a new timber production hall, circularity is the central principle. All techniques used are fully demountable and designed for reuse. The lightweight cladding in profiled metal sheets and the steel structure follow well-established circular methods.

The main challenge lay in the loading and unloading bays, where concrete was required for reasons of durability. To meet this need without compromising the circular ambition, industrial stacking blocks were reused—massive concrete elements that, like oversized LEGO bricks, fit together without mortar. This approach avoids waste, allows for future disassembly, and gives the building a bold, robust character. In this way, reuse becomes not only a technical solution but also a defining aesthetic quality of the project.
