Architects, companies
This case on circular construction includes multiple circular design strategies: Sustainability, Maintenance & Repair, Upgradeability and Disassembly & Reassembly. In addition, this case provides insight into the financing of this project. It provides inspiration for architects and companies looking to build circularly.
In 2017, the Department of Public Works office in Terneuzen was demolished to make room for the widening of a lock for ocean-going vessels. The building had only been there for 17 years and was made with sustainable materials. In Kloetinge, as the crow flies 20 kilometers away, the construction of a new youth clinic for health care provider Emergis would start a year later.
Rothuizen Architects designed the new building to be circular. They took into account the reuse of available parts and materials from the Rijkswaterstaat office. And already took into account future reuse in this design.

CIRCO therefore activates - with the support of the government - entrepreneurs and creative professionals to (re)design products, services and business models in order to then do circular business.
