#MaterialsWeLike - Floor heating systems 💚

The most common is cast floor heating systems in concrete or floor heating systems made from materials with high CO2 impact. At nikolova/aarsø, we advise our clients to use more energy-efficient floor heating systems. In this post, we’d like to highlight two types of floor heating systems with a lower CO2 impact: Lithotherm and Farmacel Therm 25. Both systems use dry-laid panels, which allow for faster, cleaner installation compared to traditional systems embedded in concrete. They are also easier to install, maintain, and repair, and—most importantly—can be reused in the future. The panels feature channels or grooves designed to house hydronic (water-based) heating pipes.

Silent reed - acoustic wall panel 💚

Reeds are tall, grass-like plants that grow in wetlands. They have hollow stems and are used in construction for thatching roofs, making fences, and crafting. Reeds are lightweight, flexible, water-resistant, and also play a role in filtering water and preventing erosion in natural habitats. The reed is a fast growing plant and removes CO₂ from the air all year round. Want to read more? - See link!

Sheep wool insulation 💚

Imagine being a builder and having glass wool in one hand and 100% sheep wool in theother. What would you choose to build with? We might not always consider what #insulation hides between our walls. However, many conventional building materials have high concentrations of VOC emissions. Sheep wool contains no such chemicals, therefore it does not emit harmful substances, providing a very good indoor environment. Sheep wool is a renewable resource, as sheep grow new fleece annually. It is biodegradable and can be recycled. Want to read more? - See Link!

#MaterialsWeLike – Carbon Pigment 💚 We think that the new black is #carbon black pigment from OurCarbon by Bioforcetech Corporation. They have developed a system that captures carbon created in our waste before it is released into our environment. By harvesting it from organic waste materials, such as food waste, agricultural residues, or other biomass, the selected feedstock undergoes pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition process that occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Cork

#MaterialsWeLike – Cork 💚

For the love of Cork. Unfortunately, cork has a misconception that we are running short of it. But we are not. We believe that cork should be more widely implemented in our built environment because it is a very #environmentally friendly #building #material from a #renewable #resource. It is like sheep wool needing to be trimmed. Read more - See link! Follow us for more updates! never boring / always biobased

#MaterialsWeLike – I am blue, ladedi ladeda..💚

In this post, we would like to demonstrate that using biobased and circular materials canprovide a colorful and tactile experience. Biobased materials often face the stereotype of being beige, dull, or unattractive compared to conventional materials. This is why we are showcasing a palette of blue material samples made from renewable and recycled resources. The mood board is composed of #natural clay, #fish scales, #pineapple skin, #reused wool felt, and #old jeans. We hope this inspires you to see that only the imagination sets the limits when it comes to biobased building materials. What do you think?

#MaterialsWeLike – Transparent & Translucent panels 💚

In this material post, we would like to talk about building materials made from #recycled #plastic: transparent and translucent screens for #interior use. Why? Because our world has been facing a huge overproduction of plastic since the 1950s. We, at nikolova/aarsø, do not believe that we should continue to produce new plastic. Instead, we believe it is important to address our current 'trash' and transform it into new building materials to prolong its life. Want to read more? - See link!

#MaterialsWeLike – Bamboo💚

In this post, we would like to discuss the qualities of bamboo as a building material. Bamboo offers a compelling combination of strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Bamboo grows rapidly and matures quickly compared to trees. Its rapid growth makes it a renewable resource, which is crucial when building new architecture. Want to resd more? - See link!

"Raised Garden and Bamboo"

We would like to share a pavilion project that we proposed for the @UISEK campus in Guapulo, Quito, Ecuador. The campus sits at the border between the feel of the hectic metropolis and the relaxed village. This crossbreeding between nature and city makes it an ideal place for an architecture school.

#MaterialsWeLike – Diasen cork💚

We love #cork and the endless possibilities it provides. In this post, we would like to share an interior and exterior render from @diasengreenbuilding. We had the pleasure of Paolo Bernardi visiting our #studio and taking us through all the #technical #aspects of using their products. Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, primarily found in the Mediterranean region. The harvesting process does not harm the tree; only the outer bark is removed, and the tree regenerates its bark over time. This makes cork a highly #sustainable and #renewable #resource. Cork is a #natural #material that is #biodegradable and #environmentally #friendly. Cork products can be #composted or #recycled at the end of their life cycle. Read more - see Link!

#MaterialsWeLike – Vratza Limestone💚

What we love about natural stone is the beauty of #texture, #colour, and #pattern variations. Each stone slab is #unique, and many will find that variation as 'imperfections'. But if we all embrace the beauty of natural materials, much less waste will be produced. We used limestone flowing for our project #TverstedHouse; stay tuned to see the finished images.

#MaterialsWeLike – Haack recycling 💚

We have made a couple of posts about recycled textiles and are pleased to share a Danish product – HAACK Recycling ApS (acoustic panels). They specialize in #crafting #recycled textile panels designed for #acoustic #solutions and #insulation. #Produced right here in #Denmark, these panels are made from #textiles collected across various industries, particularly uniforms and work clothes from #healthcare, #crafts, and #manufacturing sectors.

#MaterialsWeLike – Ceramic waste 💚

We would like to share handmade bricks made from 100% recycled ceramic waste. The ceramic tiles come from the Chinese producer YI DESIGN. The ceramic tiles come in different colors and the glazes are made with recycled biomass and fly ashes. The bricks are handmade and have a strong sense of natural texture. For every m2 there is 35kg / 0,5g CO2 impact. They can be used for interior wall and facade. We cant wait to use the tiles in our coming projects. Read more - see link!

#MaterialsWeLike – Pineapple leather 💚 Can you have shoes and other #leathergoods made from pineapple? Yes, you can! 👍 In the past #material posts we have shared upcycled materials and materials made from waste. In this material post, we would like to share a by-product and #agricultural #waste @Piñatex.
