At present, construction waste accounts for half of the world’s solid waste, 90% of which comes from demolition. By 2025 this is predicted to reach 1.1 billion tonnes annually. Design for disassembly means accepting accountability for these alarming numbers and designing proactively and practically to change them. It means ensuring that building components can be reused and have a healthy second life. Embraced as a key driver, design for disassembly was central to our design of this small pavilion, housing a restaurant and bar, in Hagastaden, a new city district nestled in between the Swedish capital Stockholm and its suburb, Solna. With a burnt wood exterior and glulam frames, the timber construction is designed as a double frame structure, with changing angles and heights, dropping from 10 to 4 meters from one end of the building to the other.
