UpCycle Prototype
DLST Panelised Housing System using Secondary Waste Wood and All-wood Connections
The UpCycle Prototype maximises the potential of processed waste wood (1 m lengths) to create diagonal laminated timber panels as a modular, panelised kit-of-parts. Assembled with all-wood and de-mountable connections, a micro-unit of 25 m2 is developed as a prototype demonstrating a flexible and adaptable structure for housing solutions in a circular economy.
