materialnomaden offers expertise in reuse to architecture, urban planning, construction execution and restoration, art and design, as well as structural engineering and guided self-construction. With this pioneering work, they are taking important development steps to advance circular processes in the construction industry.

To see the built environment as an existing resource means, as a co-designer of building culture, to be able to fall back on an enormous potential, which has to be adapted to permanently changing needs and uses.

By means of concrete implementation projects, consulting activities, the creation of prototypes and the mediation of re:use components, materialnomaden demonstrate the constructional, architectural and artistic added value of projects in which the found material is at the center.

As a specialist planner for re:use, materialnomaden offer services for the evaluation of material and building components and create feasibility studies & component catalogs to evaluate the potential for reuse and re-use. In construction projects, materialnomaden professionally accompanies and implements the building project from design to execution.

Limited edition product series are developed together with industrial and craft companies. Available components, re:furbished products and limited editions are offered in the re:store and placed in suitable projects.

Assessments and certifications are carried out via the determination of CO2 key figures and quantification of received grey energies through the life cycle extension of components and products.

re:parquet

Solid wood parquet strip has been manufactured industrially since 1900 and has a useful life of more than 100 years. Today the solid wood comes from distant countries. In Austria, we find the popular oak as already laid strip parquet. In order not to dissolve the valuable resource of a unique thermal utilization into air, the nailed boards are again prepared to high-quality, oiled parquet floor - to re:parquet. Through sensitive surface treatment, the already lived impressions are preserved, which interact vividly in a colorful game based on their individual stories.

guido

And again the air blows through: the aluminum constructions formerly used as ventilation grilles, lined up in the area, form a fence, a gate, a closed area - enclosing any garden or yard.
