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.
