The demand for unheated storage and shelter space is increasing. So is the need for every building owner to take immediate action on the climate agenda.
Next generations’ sheds from recirculated waste
Næste offers a low-risk, high-quality, full-service circular shed solution. With a prefabricated building system of waste materials, they offer the market’s best performance in relation to lifecycle assessment and lifecycle costing.
The system has the potential to keep up to 50,000 tonnes of wood waste at the highest value rather than incinerating it. This could save up to 40,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents yearly in Denmark if all secondary buildings are built out of waste materials rather than the virgin steel solution common today.
With a strong, sensual tactility and clear inspiration from the history of the local building culture, the design reminds its users to take care of our common resources and local habitats. The sheds are used as learning spaces at schools in Copenhagen and as spaces for social activities in affordable housing areas.
With an established value chain ecosystem of industrial partners from selective demolition, prefabrication and end product installation, Næste has already proved a successful and viable circular business case for all partners and customers.
