The shift to a sustainable Dutch construction sector takes many forms, but we have learned that the most impactful projects embed sustainability from the start. This gives architects a key role in shaping a futureproof built environment. In this edition of Carbon Stories, we highlight two Dutch initiatives pushing the boundaries of sustainable design— with valuable lessons for the wider sector and for Rotterdam. Register and join the conversation!
Salix – A biobased and cooperative residential tower in Eindhoven designed by architecten|en|en and Bygg Architecture & Design, currently in final design phase. This project explores new models of vertical living, integrating a CLT structure with load-bearing straw facades, proposing a radical yet elegant solution for low-impact urban housing.
Our New Office – A low-tech and biobased office in Amsterdam designed by OZ, also in final design phase. This office design brings the 2226 principles of Baumschlager Eberle into the Dutch context, aiming for energy efficiency through passive design strategies without compromising architectural expression.Join us for an evening of inspiration and insight, as we explore how today's architects are shaping the sustainable cities of tomorrow.
