Places of residence in Münsterland

Building sustainably: Recycled houses

Two brothers from Münsterland have a vision: new buildings made from construction and demolition waste. This is made possible by precast elements made from recycled concrete, which are just as safe and stable as precast concrete elements made from primary raw materials.
