Praktijkpunt Landbouw: a circular office building with biobased materials

Praktijkpunt Landbouw: a circular office building with biobased materials

Joost Declercq

The new offices of Praktijkpunt Landbouw, which supports farmers, reflect the organisation’s values: sustainability and circularity. Striking is the large-scale use of biobased materials – from solid timber and engineered wood products to hempcrete and clay. The project thus grows into a unique building for the future of agriculture and its environment.
