Sustainability Report

The primary wooden structural framework consists of repetitive rib-like frames with generous spans and minimal load-bearing internal walls. This creates a highly flexible floorplan that can accommodate different spatial configurations over time. 

The structural logic allows for future programmatic transformation — from museum and innovation hub to educational facility, cultural center, co-working space, or even light production. By separating structure, skin, and installations, the building ensures that functional changes can occur without structural intervention.

Loods M is therefore not only a response to today’s needs, but a long-term spatial infrastructure for Maassluis.

The project is designed according to circular principles, prioritizing demountability and material recoverability.

The timber structure is assembled using dry, reversible connections, allowing structural elements to be dismantled and reused at high value. 

Facade elements are modular and mechanically fixed rather than glued, enabling replacement, repair, or reuse. 

Material passports and documentation ensure traceability and future recoverability of building components, enabling them to re-enter the circular economy at the end of their service life.
