The work of Copenhagen-based Peter Kjær Arkitekter, the House Between the Bushes is a celebration of Scandinavian picket and clear, gentle cures. Appears, it’s moreover an earth-minded development designed to attenuate the need for concrete. Be a part of us for a search around:

Invisible nevertheless impactful: the development beneath that makes use of minimal concrete. “Foundations and ground cowl generally make up 50 % of the native climate footprint over 50 years on one-story wooden properties, and now we have now quite a few consider minimizing this,” the architects write. Developing on stilts, fairly than a robust concrete foundation, is normally a workaround, nevertheless “notably in trip home areas, peak restrictions may make it troublesome to assemble on stilts,” they observe. In its place, “the House Between the Bushes is predicated straight on the underside nevertheless with a minimized use of concrete: the muse is screwed piles with an edge casting of concrete with wooden formwork. The extent of concrete is because of this reality a fraction of a standard foundation.” It’s a not-s0-small ingredient achieved collaboration with contractor MBA Byg and structural engineers Regnestuen (now, sadly, closed).
