Et Skovhus – a holiday home built with timber, reuse and bio-based materials. The 100 m² timber house is shared by two families and was developed with the ambition of creating a healthy holiday home with the lowest possible climate and resource footprint. Designed by the owners themselves, the house was built in collaboration with Winther, a sixth-generation carpentry company. The design is based on five key principles: 1. a healthy home using low-emission materials and minimal foundations, 2. a resource-efficient home using bio-based materials, 3. direct reuse and industrial upcycling, 4. efficient use of the 100 m² footprint, 5. high-quality craftsmanship with materials that are easy to maintain, and a house designed to fit naturally into its surroundings. Above ground, the house exclusively uses bio-based, industrially upcycled and reused materials. a:gain contributed Bronsø  for the facade and terrace as well as Viddø windowsolutions. Other solutions include reused beech parquet flooring from Gellerupparken and a reused toilet supplied by GreenDozer, alongside bio-based construction solutions from Hunton and Økonatur. The result is a holiday home where material choices, craftsmanship and reuse have been considered as an integrated part of the design from the very beginning.

We are very pleased to use upcycled products from a:gain. They have a concept that we aim to incorporate into most of our projects whenever possible. At Bakkekvarteret, we used Bronsø as façade cladding, which is an excellent alternative to virgin materials and is delivered with end-matched boards, meaning we have virtually no waste. It is just as easy to install as other cladding solutions, the price is fair, and this makes it an easy choice to use something more climate-friendly. We also build terraces, sheds, and windbreaks using a:gain’s products, so they have gradually become an integrated part of our standard materials.

Bakkekvarteret in Vinge is a development project in which Ikano Bolig is exploring how future housing can be constructed with a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional residential developments. As part of the Boligbyggeri fra 4 til 1 Planet initiative, supported by Realdania and Villum Fonden, the project serves as an important learning case for the future of low-carbon housing. Through conscious choices of construction methods, materials, and building principles, the project team is working towards reducing the building's carbon footprint to below 2.5 kg CO₂e/m²/year.

As part of the project, a:gain supplied Bronsø for facades, terraces, and fencing. Bronsø has contributed to the project's climate ambitions through conscious material choices while helping shape the building's natural architectural expression. The solution reflects a future-oriented aesthetic based on the increased use of resource-efficient and biobased materials.
