Een Til Een, Casa Biologica, Middelfart, Danimarca, 2017

The Biological House is a pilot project by Een Til Een and a first of its kind – a modern housing concept based on new digital technology and the application of high quality bio-based materials. Waste from the agricultural industry, are today being processed into materials that can replace wood products such as plywood and OSB. The Biological House aims to be a showcase of the use and application of these new products in a complete and full functional home solution for the 21st century modern family.

The biological house is built primarily from agricultural bioproducts and demonstrates how local waste resources can be upcycled into valuable building components. The house aims to stimulate green and local economy with a unique building technology that can utilize the abundance of for example weat and rice straw, reed, hemp, flax, sea grass and other cellulose fibres.
