We will work with tourist entrepreneurs and other stakeholders (f.e. architects, contractors) to Co-create the Circular design proposal. In this way we demonstrate the possibility of a circular economy tourist accommodation and will also function as a test for tourist entrepreneurs who want to invest in circular economy accommodation but still have concerns; by involving them in the design they can test features and technics that they plan to apply, and receive feedback from users.
In the meantime, students of the architecture program have started designing the building. On our news page you will find a nice interview with lecturer-researcher Maarten den Hollander and students who are working on this pilot within FACET: {{Cite|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01053|name=click here for the article|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}.
The aim of this pilot is to demonstrate the possibilities of building with circular and biobased materials in tourist accommodations. The final design consists of a two-storey building with an exhibition space and an apartment.
''In the elaboration, materials are sometimes chosen for the sake of feasibility. Not all of these materials are fully in line with the “biobased” theme, for example due to chemical additives. These materials will be mapped and alternatives will also be named. We may actually apply these alternatives at a later stage.''
Several parties participated in the realization of this pilot project. Contacts were sought with parties that are actively working to make the world in which they operate more sustainable. Behind each party is therefore a story. Why do they participate in the project and what, for example, are the lessons they have learned? Read it in the stories below.

The accommodation is on the site of Rothuizen Architects and Advisors based in Middelburg. This party is actively involved in the construction and the pilot is also an eye-catcher on the so-called silo site on the Kleverkerkseweg where it is located. It is one of the reasons why architects Taco Tuinhof of Rothuizen and Derk Thijs of Thijs + Gutberlet are closely involved in the development and construction of the Biobased Beleven house. It must become the eyecatcher of the site. ''{{Cite|resource=Bestand:Template info Rothuizen - ENG.pdf|name=Read their whole story here (ENG)...|dialog=process-file-dialog}}''
{{Cite|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01181|name=VKP|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}
VKP knows one thing for sure: everyone should have the opportunity to live or work in a sustainable and high-quality building. Building the finest projects together with partners brings them closer to realizing our mission. This project therefore fits the company perfectly.

{{External link|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01182|name=Van de Velde installatiegroep|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}
Within this project, van de Velde is responsible for the installation of various elements. This company's experience with sustainable practices and their drive to innovate their working methods to generate an even more sustainable process made them an ideal partner to have involved in this project.

{{External link|resource=Resource Hyperlink 01183|name=Van Aken schroeffundering|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}
Van Aken offers a more sustainable alternative for the base of the building. This party works with a foundation that can be screwed in and also out of the ground. Perfect for reuse!

'''November 2022 - Official opening'''
On Thursday 17 November, the HZ University of Applied Sciences is organizing a festive opening of the building where interested parties get a demonstration of the building.
Alderman Rutger Schonis of the Municipality of Middelburg and Barbara Oomen, president of the Executive Board of HZ University of Applied Sciences, opened the Biobased Beleven building on the Siloterrein in Middelburg on Thursday.
The two-story eye-catcher of the area on the Kleverkerkseweg, where Rothuizen Architects and Adviseurs, among others, can be found, is fully circularly built and consists largely of biobased materials.
Architecture students from the HZ produced the design. It was elaborated by architects Taco Tuinhof and Derk Thijs. Lecturers Willem Böttger and Phoebus Panigyrakis and project leader Maarten Den Hollander of the HZ lectureship Biobased Building also played a major role in the construction.
On the first floor of the building is an exhibition of all kinds of biobased building materials. On the second floor will be a studio. It was built within the framework of Interreg 2 Seas program FACET. With the Biobased Experience building, the HZ, both architects and all project partners want to show the possibilities of the circular economy in tourist accommodations. Besides the Biobased Building lectorate, HZ Knowledge Center for Coastal Tourism and HZ Knowledge Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation are participating.

|Name=Pilot 4: Cocreating a demo bioCircular accommodation with stakeholders
|Summary=In this pilot we demonstrate the viability of circular economy tourist accommodation by co-creating a demo bioCircular accommodation with stakeholders. The focus in this pilot is to look both at techniques using waste material as well as working with parts that could be used in new accommodation or been giving another “afterlife”.
