Reading Room In The Forest, Fredriksoord, Netherlands,
Part of 'DeProef,' a new hub for art and ecology the pavilion achieves a 98% recycled mass rate, is estimated to sequester 7 tonnes of CO₂, and records a Milieu Prestatie Gebouwen (MPG) score of 0.16, significantly below the Dutch legal threshold of 0.80.
Approximately 30% of the building materials were salvaged directly from the DeProef site.
These include discarded fleece from local farms, reclaimed mineral wool, salvaged concrete rubble, greenhouse acrylic panels, and reused timber from previous constructions.
