For the Dutch Design Week Derix built a biobasecamp on the Ketelhuisplein. With and underneath this pavilion we show you how building with (cross) laminated timber can contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide. We also show you the various possibilities of this building material.
Biobasecamp is a pavilion that is built with cross laminated timber (CLT / X-LAM) and trees. The deck and stairs are composed of X-LAM that is produced in the factory of Derix in Germany. After the Dutch Design Week this X-LAM can be reused in all sorts o

About Derix

Derix produces X-LAM (cross laminated timber) and glulam and assemble all sorts, shapes and sizes of buildings. Trees capture carbon dioxide that is stored for a long time if we transform trees to building materials. However, trees as circular building materials are the beste, since then we are storing carbon dioxide forever. That's how Derix contributes to a sustainable world.
