Reuse Information:
Modular construction allows for disassembly and component reuse
Design facilitates future material recovery
The building’s standout feature is its facade made of sheet piling. To meet the tight construction schedule, the sheet piles serve a dual purpose—forming both the facade and the foundations—significantly accelerating the building process. This approach also facilitates easy reuse of materials when the structure is dismantled.
