Nybygg av sirkulær enebolig - Holmestrand

Sirkulær trehus-prosjekt

The project SirkBo, a component of the larger innovation initiative SirkTre, strives for a circular value chain in the Norwegian wood industry. It aims to establish a circular zero-emission house by merging modular and standardized construction principles with circular design strategies such as 'Design for disassembly' (DFD) and 'Design for adaptive reuse' (DFAR). These strategies aim to minimize environmental impacts throughout the building's lifecycle.

Avfall til ny råvare

Emphasizing the principles of a circular economy, SirkBo seeks to transform waste into raw material for new production, drastically reducing the reliance on virgin resources and increasing the efficiency of resource utilization. The project supports an economic model where no waste is generated, fundamentally altering the current waste industry.

Ti prinsipper for gjenbruk

The SirkBo construction system employs ten principles that promote reusability and circular solutions, highlighting the use of low-climate-impact materials, maximizing their lifecycle through reuse, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Modular and standardized construction elements streamline the building process and reduce assembly time.

Forskjellige boligtyper

SirkBo includes four different housing typologies designed to accommodate various family sizes, with floor areas ranging between 40 and 140 square meters. These housing solutions are currently in the research phase and are expected to be completed within 2022-2024. The project is self-initiated but gains support from The Green Platform Initiative and collaborates with entities such as NorgesHus and SirkTre.
