The project was developed to meet ambitious circularity targets, both in terms of ecological performance and construction methods. The primary structure is built from locally sourced timber harvested from the Schovenhorst Estate, which was also used for the timber façade cladding. The window frames were carefully salvaged from a building scheduled for demolition in Utrecht. The shipping containers, complete with fully equipped kitchens, were repurposed from the former ROOST pavilion in Utrecht, which ceased operations after ten years. Interior finishes were created using oak veneer panels reclaimed from the former executive offices of ING’s iconic Zandkasteel building in Amsterdam Zuidoost, which was being transformed into residential housing. The interior bar was constructed from a reclaimed bowling alley, while lighting fixtures incorporate salvaged construction materials and reinforcing steel. Even the sunblinds have been made out of a former roster floor of a farm for chickens. The trees were planted specifically for the site, and the paving was sourced from surplus materials from other construction projects. Every material within the project carries its own history. Together, these stories create a place with a rich and authentic character from the very moment of completion.
