Pilot description

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: click here for the article.

Construction of FACET pilot HZ University of Applied Sciences started

On Monday September 12, the construction of a bio-circular accommodation started in Middelburg (Zeeland, the Netherlands).

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.

PILOT

Cocreating a demo bioCircular accommodation with stakeholders

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”.
